Cloudy Mars 2012-02-24

Another day of clear sky, means another evening to enjoy astronomy. Mars was shining like a bright orange star as seen on my way home. After a little R&R, I set up my light bucket and imaged the red planet. Here are the results.

Fortunately the seeing has been pretty good. I was able to observe the cloudy right side of the planet After Mars, I scan around to check if there's anything interesting. I then tried to image the Orion nebula using medium magnification to capture specifically the star forming region.
