Left: Mars at 03:45 UT on 9-6-03.  The best 200 of 1000 webcam frames were used.

Right: Coolpix 995--multiple   images stacked, 8-11-03

Equipment used: TouUcam Pro webcam or Nikon Coolpix 995 camera, as indicated.  Webcam shots used a 2x barlow.  Nikon shots used a Radian 8mm eyepiece coupled to the camera.  In either case, the scope was a Meade LX200GPS 10-inch, and for most shots a violet reduction filter and IDAS light-pollution filter were stacked to improve contrast.  Registax 2.0 stacked the images and provided some processing, and Adobe Photoshop 6.0 provided further processing.
