We had excellent seeing here in Charlotte last night--here is an image of Mars captured with the little 125mm Mak. The images all look a little different as I experiment with various degrees of processing. It's a great tribute to the quality of Mak scopes, which are, in my opinion, unbeatable for small-aperture lunar and planetary imaging.
The trials, tribulations and small triumphs of a Charlotte, NC astronomer imaging under Bortle 8/9 skies.
