I connect a camera to my Celestron Edge HD 11 telescope to take a close-up picture of the planet Mars from my backyard.
Mars Opposition takes place on October 13, 2020. The red planet will make its closest approach to Earth, appearing 22.4 arcsec. in diameter!
The final image is a stack of the best 1000 frames (through each RGB filter) of 15000 taken with the ZWO ASI290mm Mini. There are certainly better pictures of Mars online, but this is my best image of Mars to date!
Thank you for watching, and clear skies!
Perserverance = Perseverance :)

Amazing, the first time I saw Saturn through a telescope I was blown away! The feeling you get seeing a whole other world is just incredible
-
Nothing like seeing planets with your own eyes through a telescope. It's almost like a dream.
-
Really cool capture at 4:37, of a plane passing through, with the moon as a backdrop.

Would love to have a telescope one day. Thanks for letting us see through yours. Fascinating!!! So exciting that’s a nice setup you have there.

The feeling of seeing a planet with your eyes it’s like reaching the imposible, makes you feel extremly lucky to be one of the few humans being that reach so far, almost touch planets, almost feel the planet. And that emotions are reserved to very very fews

I used to live in a farm in a true dark-sky area and sit out half the night on a pool-recliner, watching the night sky with the scope or binocs. Nothing like it. I just got sick of coming inside half drained of blood from mosquitoes. These days I'm content to just 'send my name' on NASA space missions and know it's up there on Mars, on an asteroid and way out past Pluto and also to watch guys like you provide such inspiring images with much better equipment than I could ever own. Thanks.

The equipment available today is just insanely amazing ! Both hardware and software. It wasn't that long ago . . . in the 60s/70s, we had to ground our own lens and mirror, because there were not much on the market.

My friend has a 10” Schmidt. He was using it for solar viewing, with special filters to allow him to take pictures of the sun. When Hale Bopp flew over we brought it to the desert west of Phoenix and got a really good look at the comet. I also too, my 4” reflector out, but when we were setting it up the pinion gear stripped off the ring gears teeth and we lost it. I wrote a letter to the President of Meade and he personally sent out another scope with upgraded eyepieces. He was a really nice guy!

Wow!! That is some serious astronomical gear and what a fantastic image of Mars too. I’m hoping everyone that watches this appreciates the dedication exhibited here. So well done!
-
Serious bit of kit you have there brother!
-
Wow! This vlog was super amazing! I got so excited with all your background scores & sounds! Brilliant work! Perseverance = Perseverance :)
-
You wouldn't want me as a neighbor. I'd be asking you every weekend to break out the telescope

Great shot of a Cessna 172 passing the moon 04:35

You did an incredible job with that picture of mars, it shows quite a lot of detail! It's a beautiful and interesting planet.
-
fantastic. I live in the uk in Norfolk, a little village where time has forgotten. the vikings and Danes conquered here, they left stories and markings of the planets. there is no light pollution. The north of here, less than an hour, by eye you can see the whole sky like you can touch it. I'm in awe of it all. great pictures.

4:37. Got it!! ✈️ Screenshot on.
-
The editing of this video was on point, Trevor! I'm getting super hyped with all the planetary photos you're taking!
-
Great video and image, Trevor. So well produced. Love your channel.
-
It's really much more exciting to see Mars by this way than by just looking pictures of Mars. Thanks for sharing.
