Mars.

An average of 283 frames from video taken using my 600 MHz iBook with an OrangeMicro iBot FireWire CCD webcam using BTV Pro mounted with a Mogg webcam adapter on an 127mm f/14.96 Meade ETX125AT Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope with a Scoptronix visual back and a TeleVue 3x Barlow at 12:45 AM on September 17, 2003 in New York, NY. Each of the frames was aligned and averaged using Keith's Image Stacker after subtracting a dark frame from each on my 467MHz PowerMacintosh G4. Levels were adjusted in Photoshop 7.0.1 to improve contrast. Distance at 0.4027 au and increasing. Longitude of central meridian: 221.2 deg. Apparent diameter is 23.24 arcsec. Altitude: +30°21'36" (with refraction: +30°23'17")
