Mars - 360deg. Here is a composition of images from Feb. 2nd to March 10th (when possible) of slightly over a month and showing a full rotation of the planet Mars. Image from feb.2nd and so on is slightly smaller due to distance and approaching opposition on March 3rd (Sun) and March 5th (Earth) closest to us.

Equipment: LX200ACF 12 in. OTA, F30, CGE mount, PGR Flea3 Ccd, TeleVue 3x barlows, Astronomik L, RGB filter set.
