Mars — 2007 December 8 by Malcolm Porter

'Mars, the God of War, as seen from Petts Wood, Kent and imaged at  00:46:08 UT on the 8th December 2007 using an Intes MN78 with a 3x Barlow lens in front of a Philips ToUcam, effectively giving a focal length of 148 inches. The resultant 500 frames were optimized and stacked using Registax giving a far better result than the relatively poor visual image seen at the eyepiece.'
