Hello Masatsugu and Masami.
We
have a mutual friend, Don Parker, who tells me that you do an incredible job
running the OAA website. Don lives about
1 hour south of me and I have known him for years. I believe he is the best planet imager and
has done a wonderful job on Mars this apparition! I personally have been imaging Mars with a
variety of telescopes ranging from a 3.5" Questar
to a 15" Obsession dobsonian. I managed to get some good images lately with
the 15" dob and Don
suggested that I forward them to you.
Attached you will find those images as well as an image of the
set-up. The dobsonian
telescope is on a unidirectional tracking platform which worked quite
well. Hope you enjoy this and can find
room to post it on your OAA website.
Please
write back if you have any further questions.
Thanks.
