Mars 2018-10-28 03:58 UTC

Description

Before finishing up on Mars, I wanted to get an infrared photo of Mars to cut through the heat plumes.

Notes:

Sinus Meridiani is at the central meridian.
Syrtis Major and Hellas Basin are setting.
Hellas Basin appears to be covered in bright dust.
Very little is left of the South polar cap.

Equipment

ZWO ASI290MM

Astro-Physics Advanced Convertible Barlow
