Mars 23/10/05 - Eric Walker

After the rain stopped and gaps appeared in the clouds at Conon Bridge on 23 October 2005 at 0100h-0200h BST(0000h-0100h UT), it was time to remove the plastic sheet from the scope and camera. I used my 8" SCT at f/10, Nikon Coolpix 5700 digital camera afocally attached to a 15mm Plossl eyepiece with 2x Barlow. Multiple images were taken in RAW (NEF) format, combined using Registax, and further processed using Adobe Photoshop CS. www.astrophotos.plus.com
