Equipment:

355mm Newtonian, ASI290MM, Baader RGB filters. Seeing 7-8/10. North up image.

Description:

Mars on October 3, 2020. 20 minutes of rotation in a few seconds. Sequences acquired in very good to excellent seeing. Lot of details like craters are observable on the planet. Note the South Polar Cap size at this longitude: it will be gone soon. Some clouds on the limb above Syrtis Major, and the North Polar clouds going strong. This is definitely my best sequence for this opposition yet.
