20181027 Mars

The Mars is getting farther, dimmer and also smaller.

Pulled out my 85mm ED refractor, and 5x Powermate, ASI 120mc.

This time I reduced the ROI to 640x480 and the frame rate goes over 38fps!  Very nice indeed!

The Nexstar mount is very stable now, vibration damps out very quickly and I don't need electronic focuser any more!


Taken at 1410 (UT), 1.5x Drizzle.
