Despite less than average seeing, I imaged Mars twice tonight; once, when it was relatively low in the sky, and again when it was near the zenith. The images were passable, but definitely compromized by seeing. Before beginning the second imaging session, I had to clear dew off the scope corrector with a hairdryer. I've included Mars map comparisons for each image.
The trials, tribulations and small triumphs of a Charlotte, NC astronomer imaging under Bortle 8/9 skies.
