This is an image of Mars taken last night with the 14 inch. The camera was an ASI 120MM. I took 2000 frames of Red, Green, and Blue channels. Seeing was horrible, but the polar cap is clearly visible at the 11 o'clock position as is atmospheric cloud.
The trials, tribulations and small triumphs of a Charlotte, NC astronomer imaging under Bortle 8/9 skies.
