tried again. seeing was still poor, but the atmospheric dispersion was worse. It's no good, I'm going to have to stay up late and wait for it rise properly :sad:

The comparison is with a simulation from Mars Previewer II, a worthy tool for deciding what you can see.

Realy nice image mate. I have managed to shoot a couple of AVI's but I can't get K3CCD working. I have a feeling I'm going to have to re-build my PC again :sad:

Interesting image, Ian. Please can you submit it and the earlier one to the Gallery before National Astronomy Week? Images of Mars are going to be of particular interest.
