Say Hello to mars, Passing by 85 million kms from earth. Now it continues its drift across the sky! Its not often you get a glance of mars. Ones in every 26 months the earth overtakes mars.
Valles Marineris Is The Largest known Canyon in the Solar system. Being 4000 kms long it's Almost long Is The Width of United States πΊπ². Interestingly this feature is 7kms Deep and also 200kms wide. Its a large channel formed by the erosion of lava from volcanic activity from around 1-2 billion years Ago. Just During the Time when Our solar system was Young! How fascinating is That?
Imaging Details: Orion starseeker 5-inch reflector Starseeker Alt/az mount ZWO ASI 224mc (5x Barlow) Celestron 2x+3x
Because mars is small, I decided to Crank Up the Power by using my 3x Barlow In conjunction with a 2x. thought It would be at limits of resolution. But I guess it worked really well (except for some shakiness!
