Mars Partial Rotation Video from 5" refractor

This video was shot on the 21st of January. There are more clouds on Mars and you can see the rotation of the planet on this one a little better than my last one.

Wow great!!!

Thanks. I put alot of time and effor into the videos. Seeing conditions do not always cooperate but on those rare occasions I am able to get some pretty good stuff. This video in particular was shot in 33 degree weather over a period of about 2 to 2.5 hours.

@armicheal what telescope did u use and how much did u pay for it?

[armicheal]

@hummerume - I used a Takahashi 130 TOA refractor. Visually the image looks very close to a small hubble image when viewing planets.

I have a 5" refractor but have never achieved such a large, detailed view as this! Nice

Excellent work!

@armicheal it sure is FANTASTIC buddy!

Wow, you sure are dedicated spending 2 hours in that cold weather to get these shots.

Much appreciated as I could not afford to spend that much on a telescope to get images like this.

Thank you for sharing!
