Mars 5th Dec 2009

It's early (in the morning), it's clear (in between the clouds)... and it's Mars!
5 x TV Powermate, RGB, SKYnyx 2-0M, C9.25.
The transparency along with the seeing was not very good, with gusty winds.

You can just make out Elysium Mons the white smudge on the right close to the terminator.















Below is a CalSky ref.

5 minutes after taking this image, it started to rain... that's unusual!!
