Mars November 20th, dust storm

Mars on November 20th: after twilight the seeing was horrible, the dust storm could be detected only as a yellow smudge. Later that night the air briefly stabilized and some more detail appeared. The tail of the storm was dim on the west rim of the planet, over the southern Solis Lacus area.

22 & 23 October 2020: Mars under really bad circumstances

Almost no surface structures visible on screen – bad seeing, clouds passing by and obscuring the planet. I only managed one IRGB series.

The 23th of October seeing was even worse. It does not make sense trying to image this way!

Mars, October 23th in horrible seeing conditions.

Mars, 19 October 2020

Very bad and cloudy weather is persistent in th elow countries, occasionally showing Mars in short breaks between clouds and rain. I managed to capture one IR+ G session in between and through clouds (no blue).
