| Images surrounding the 2005 Mars opposition. To the right are the actual images captured using the Cave newtonian at prime focus with the addition of a Televue 5x powermate (around f/35 effectively). Camera was a Toucam Pro II. Approximately 3-400 satisfactory frames were stacked in both cases using the program Registax V3.
On the left are computer simulations courtesy of T. Ikemura of the Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers of Japan. These correspond to the actual surface features visible at the time the images to the right were captured. |
