That's a very nice Mars, Jim... more focal length would be a help. Mars is probably bright enough to go higher than f30 with your 12" when the seeing is favorable.

cheers,

Alan

A small Mars at f/15 from my 12" dob this morning. Once I makes some changes to the altitude gear ring I'll try imaging at f/30. This was shot with the Flea Scorpion.
