EDDIE BERNARD posted to the BINTEL* Society his portrait of Mars taken at the start of January using a Celestron C11 telescope and a ZWO ASI585MC planetary camera. It was picked up and featured on the front page of the BINTEL* Newsletter 1st February 2025.

The photo (left) captured a rare aspect of Mars, the snowy ice poles.

Mars and Jupiter are shining brightly above our heads tonight (Jan.3.2025) and are wonderful viewing in telescopes of all sizes.

Never get over just what you can do in your backyard. Isaac Newton would fall off his chair if he could have seen photos like this.
