About An average of 10 frames from video taken using my 600 MHz iBook with an OrangeMicro iBot FireWire CCD webcam using BTV Pro mounted with a Mogg webcam adapter on an 127mm f/14.96 Meade ETX125AT Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope with a Scoptronix visual back and a TeleVue 5x PowerMate at 1:39 AM on August 14, 2003 in New York, NY. Each of the frames was aligned and averaged using Keith's Image Stacker after subtracting a dark frame from each on my 467MHz PowerMacintosh G4. Levels were adjusted in Photoshop 7.0.1 to improve contrast. Distance at 0.3847 au and closing. Longitude of central meridian: 175.8 deg. Apparent diameter is 24.33 arcsec. Image scale approx. 0.13 arcsec/pixel. This is oversampled too much for the ETX125's 0.9 arcsec resolution; closer to 0.45 arcsec/pixel would be optimal per Nyquist. But this is still a nice looking image for Mars at 34 deg elevation captured from a shaky and windy roof in downtown Manhattan.

Great work. I very badly wanted to capture something like this, but that proves to be difficult when you don't have a telescope.

I'd say pretty impressive, I could not even find mars, not to mention photographing it. Good job. Your other lunar's were impressive too.

Thanks for all your comments.

For now, the planets and moon are mostly impervious to light pollution. The biggest problem is seeing, the steadiness of the atmosphere. I may be able to get closer to the theoretical resolution of the optics from a better sight, but one shouldn't give up, just because the neighbors don't turn off their lights when they go to sleep...

This mars attacks....my heart. Great Taras. Downtown Manhattan? Great!! 34 Degrees elevation is more than it will reach here in central Germany this season. I saw it yesterday evening between the clouds just beside the nearly full moon, it was a great view even for the naked eye.

I think I will carry my Meade 127 ED-APO-Refractor to the hill just 3 km away from my house this saturday. This is something which I won't miss to see...
