Celestron 11" EdgeHD telescope using a 3x Barlow and the ZWO ASI 1600mm Pro camera with Red-Gree-Blue filters
I took a 1000 frame movie for each filter then stacked them in AutoStakkert! ... combined them in Photoshop then enhanced the image in Registax
The Planet Mars at opposition, that is, the Earth is directly between Mars and the Sun, so we are looking directly at the sunny side of Mars. I used the Celestron 11" EdgeHD telescope with the Explore Scientific 3x Barlow resulting in a focal ratio of f/30. The camera was the ZWO ASI 1600mm Pro using Red, Green, and Blue filters. Stacked in AutoStakkert! and enhanced in RegiStax and Photoshop.
