Not as nice as Northstars but it is a start.
This is the first Mars session I have done in close to 2 years so its a bit rough.
Particulars are...
Celestron C8 Ultra mounted on a Celestron CGEM go to pod.
Celestron 236C Cmos camera and processed with AutoStakkert!2 with Registax6 for the wavelets.
I'll keep on trying..
Stay Safe...

I haven't been able to get any Solar system objects for years . Trees and humidity has put that on hold. Looking good , better than my attempts. You're picking up some really good detail . KUDOS !

Great shot. How many frames where stacked to get this image?

It's great, Jim!
Glad to see you getting some sky time.
Our Brush Fire smoke is finally beginning to move off.
Unfortunately that means towards you....

The next time some idiots want to set off a bomb for a gender reveal party, I hope they do it downrange of a busy rifle range. Morons! This fire is most likely to puke your air up.

I’ve been fighting monsoon season and now smoke from so many fires west of me. There was a layer of smoke that I was shooting through that killed my Jupiter shots but my Saturn and Mars faired fairly well. The banding on the right edge irked me but I guess there’s just too much artifact.
Thank you for the compliment and keep yourself safe.

Thank you for the compliment just don’t look to closely at the right edge.
I was going to try again last night but my winds were Santa Anna style.
I have lots of time to do better.
