Mars

3 hours of rotation on 10-3-05

from 6 to 9 UT


Although I usually present my Mars images south up to match the view in an inverting telescope, I've presented this 13 frame animated GIF with north up... it simply looks better to me this way as it looks 'more natural', as many of us know that most planets rotate from west to east.

Each frame is a processed result from 13 separate, 4 minute long webcam videos; each separated by a period of 15 minutes.
