Subject: Mars already?

I haven't posted for a while since I've been doing a lot of DSOs but weather has been quite 

nice in Toronto and I tried Mars Monday morning.  Shot at about f/42 with a focal length 

probably more than 10 m! but its still quite  a bright object but I don't know if the 

atmosphere was up to supporting that type of magnification.

Shot with mono PGR FLea and C 9.25" SCT and CS filters.

Consider it practice for December.  I also did see Uranus but at f/42 it is really dim, unlikely 

to be able to get an color imaging unless I lower the focal length.
