Lunar Occultation of Mars - January 30, 2023

 


I took this video using the 6" (side-saddled) Celestron refractor
at the Patterson Observatory in Sierra Vista, AZ.
Camera: Canon T3i unmodded in the video mode 5X
ISO 6400 27fps at 1/500 sec shots

(As always, click on the images to see a larger view of them)

Here my take on Mars just before the occultation
using the same camera in the movie mode
stacked using AutoStakkert!4,
magnified and post-processed with Luminar 2018 image program:
