The Planet Mars at opposition, that is, the Earth is directly between Mars and the Sun, so we are looking directly at the sunny side of Mars. I used the Celestron 11" EdgeHD telescope with the Explore Scientific 3x Barlow resulting in a focal ratio of f/30. The camera was the ZWO ASI 1600mm Pro using Red, Green, and Blue filters. Stacked in AutoStakkert! and enhanced in RegiStax and Photoshop.

I took a 1000 frame movie for each filter then stacked them in AutoStakkert! ... combined them in Photoshop then enhanced the image in Registax
