This shot of Mars is at 1/3000 second through the 36" Link telescope at prime focus with a stellacam ex and recorded on super vhs tape. No filter was used. This is a stack of around 2000 frames from an avi of 5000. Taken on October 30, 2005 about 1:30 a.m. when mars was near the meridian on night of it's closest approach to earth.
