- Observation of the Jan 13, 2025 Mars Occultation
Post your pics of the Mars occultation here!
Currently it's 8:20 EST, about an hour from the occultation. Below is a still of what I'm working on (the gray dot near the right side is Mars):
I'm using my C11, a 0.33 focal reducer and currently using a ZWO ASI1600 monochrome camera. It's the only setup with which I can shoot the entire moon with the C11. I'm going to shoot the "in" with this setup and the "out" at higher magnification and a color camera. The color camera has a much smaller sensor and pixels so it can't image the entire moon even with the focal reducer.
Zommed-in on Mars:
This is a 3,000 frame stack. Seeing isn't very good, so there isn't much detail to be had.
