This Mars was around maybe 45 degree up, great seeing and as I saw it in live view I knew it was a banger. This mars is captured in a series of 5 of the best videos 2 minutes each. Processed the way normally do, It is in fact what i've waited for so long on to get an image of Mars. I am SUPER glad I went with the 14" SCT and balancing the seeing, focal, and equipment I was able to capture this. The seeing was very good! Enjoy! Thank you! Bonus, you are able to see the shadow of the cloud of the ribbon white long cloud stream on the lower left. The shadow is in the direction hugging the right of the cloud. The shadow is dark brown in color as it casts on the Martian sand.
