Mars 7-25-18

Meade LX200R 14inch, F20, 2X Barlow, DSI III CCD color imager, 1006 Frames stacked @ .0625 sec's each. For those who might not be aware of, Mars currently has a planet-wide dust storm obscuring most of the surface details. This comes at a bad time since Mars will be at opposition with Earth on the 27th. So this image as far my equipment is concerned is about as good as its going to get thanks to the dust storm.
