Hi All,

Just messing around with a webcam and small scope in the backyard.

Mars was about 85.5% illuminated, and CM was about 260, and angular diameter about 12- 13 arc seconds across.

Here are the first results with this 6" cave reflector.........
I took avi's and ran them through Registax~ 500 images stacked. We have very poor seeing conditions most of the time here in Dayton, Ohio, but taking avi's help alot so I can pick the best moments of seeing.

Can't wait till The Hurricane gets out of the area so I can image it again!
