Capturing Mars in Motion
As Mars approaches opposition, I wanted to capture a time lapse that shows its rotation and its motion relative to the background stars. I used an 8" Meade LX200 and a modified Samsung SCB-2000 camera with a 2x barlow to capture a high magnification view of Mars rotating over 3 hours. I simultaneously filmed the red planet with an Orion ST-80 refractor piggybacking on the LX200 with an SBIG ST-2000XCM camera running 1 minute exposures to capture Mars moving relative to the background stars. Finally, I wrote a custom image stacking program in Python to stack the SCB-2000 videos of Mars in 1 minute segments in order to render a time lapse of the planet's rotation in sync with its motion relative to the background stars.

COMET

Analysis of the orbit of long period comet C/2013 A1 Siding Spring during its close approach to Mars in October 2014. Mars is within the uncertainty region for the comet's position, and as a result there is a real but small chance of impact with this comet at about 56km/sec (!) on October 19th, 2014.
