Description

I was getting anxious about having no access to a telescope five nights per week, so I decided to pack the 90mm Mak in the car and use it at my university. I attempted this in February, but my laptop powered down before I could capture anything because of the below-freezing temperature.

Notes:

White Oval Z is just past the central meridian.
The Equatorial Zone is still orange.
The South Equatorial Belt to the west of the Great Red Spot is split by a white zone.

Equipment

ZWO ASI224MC

Orion Apex 90mm
