Polo, Cáceres, Spain. Equipment: Meade LX200 Classic 10", f/10, barlow x2, QHY5-C camera. Date:October 2009 - February 2010.

This is one resume of the last opposition of the red planet. It shows its crescent size as the date of the opposition was approaching, and some interesting events (one dust storm in the north polar cap).  All photos were stacked and preprocessed with Registax 5.0.
