Back in the 1970s I had access to a 12 1/2" Newtonian. Took a lot of photos , on film of course.
Mars was making a close pass, 1976(?).
But these a waaay better than anything I took.
Very nice.
Hi ad9mac.
Thanks for the comment. With today's digital cameras and software to stack 1000's of images it makes it a lot easier to get a decent image. The video used for stacking these images shows the planets wobbling like crazy due to the mediocre seeing. I expect if I get a really calm night the images would improve a far amount.
