Image Details:

This is my very first attempt at Mars. I am very new to astronomy and have been infatuated with the night sky for about a year now. I had been looking up at Mars above Orion the hunter every morning before work at 5:30 am. Wishing I could get a chance to point my scope at it. The day finally came but the seeing and dew point conditions weren’t that favourable for planetary imaging. I took several videos of 35000 frames and this is the only one that gave me a photo I am proud of.
This capture was taken at 5:26am Oct30th 2022
3 min .ser video capturing 35000 frames.
As mars reaches opposition I am hopeful more opportunities will arise for me to get more practice capturing Mars.
