Here are my best
shots of Mars during 2005 opposition. Very evident are the north polar
cap clouds, blue colored. The best image was captured on 11 november
thanks to very good seeing and the use of a very long focal lenght. The
colors were obtained using only red W25 (without IRcut) and blue
W38a+IRcut. The webcam is a modified Vesta Pro, with a BW chip. The
green channel was interpolated from the red and blue images, giving a
nearly real color view. Coauthors of some images are my friends Stefano
Simonelli and Alfredo Zanazzo.
