Mars through Celestron C8 EdgeHD July 17, 2020
I was able to take my new Celestron C8 EdgeHD telescope out this morning and get some imagery of Mars. Mars is still only about 13" across in apparent diameter and will be close to twice that by opposition in October. The imagery was taken with an ASI224MC camera using a 2.5X Televue Barlow and a Baader UV/IR cut filter.
