Pete Sherman Mars 7th January 08

Mars taken on 7th January 2008 2.5x Barlow was used to increase my focal length to f/10, 1922 frames were stacked out of 3000, and precessed in photoshop. Unfortunately my focus was just off or the street lights in Fochabers interfered with the image, so no surface detail was visible. Now that Mars has past opposition the phase is obvious though, as you can see.
