Mars?

[LaFoto]

The "unknown" cannot be anything, which I tried to prove with my two last photos, which show that when I moved the camera (cf. tip of fir tree), the "object" moved from left of the Pleiades, to underneath the Pleiades, which suggests that it MUST be something camera-related... I would have loved (!) to have captured something spectacular like a new galaxy or so, but that - so I no fear - has not happened and is not going to be :cry:

That is a rare catch of the Cheetah galaxy whuch is the fastest moving galaxy in the cosmos. :smileys:

Ah yes! I've heard of that one! It only shows up on compact digital cameras though!


LaFoto all you need to do now is zoom in on Mars now! Let's see that polar ice cap!

 

[LaFoto]

Ahhh.
O-keeeeh.
"Just zoom in".
With my camera... weeeeeeeeellll. Any time zoom now I shall show you the polar ice caps , but only if you really believe.

 

[PlasticSpanner]

I'll believe! That little camera is quite amazing really! :hail:

 

[LaFoto]

Uh-oh. What have I done............!??!?!?!?!?!?

"MO!? Could you come borrow me your 1600mm lens just for a while????"

*musing* Or who was the one that owns a rocket and has actually flown to the moon for his photos??? */musing*

 

[PlasticSpanner]

You could hitch a ride on a rocket but you won't be allowed to take your little tripod with you then! :lmao:

"The Weapon"?

But it did help me to get these photos as well as the other night photos that are elsewhere on here in Landscape and Nature!

I might first of all test the "binocular-method" on Mars to see if I can make the polar ice caps visible . Someone () suggested I try that, heehee

 

[pursuer]

I don't think you will have much luck seeing the ice cap with binos, although you could easily see four of Jupiters moons, but don't let that stop you from trying

I am going to try to get a shot of mars in the next month or so in which the cap should be visible *crosses fingers*

 

[LaFoto]

I hope you could "hear" that I did not seriously believe that I might get such a close-up of Mars with my little digital compact camera and binoculars, even though PlasticSpanner might have converted into "believing" .

But I am seriously curious to see YOUR photos of Mars taken with all the means (no longer dare to speak about "equipment" on here :shock: ) that you have got for your astro photography.

My best ever Mars.
