Mars in opposition

Last night, Mars was in opposition. That means that it is closest to earth. You see it also, because the picture of yesterday below, is slightly smaller (and the scale is the same).
Again, with the Philips toucam webcam and the telescope, I started imaging. The seeing was slightly worse then yesterday evening.
Here is the best picture I took, selected from 15 4min movies. It is quite detailed.
It was very cold this night, at the end the whole telescope had even Ice on it. But the result was worth the cold!
