tape of Mars from 1997 this image is comprised of 23 of the best paused frames from the
steadiest moments. It has been resized slightly. No filters where used.

| Phobos
& Deimos |
| Below:
Deimos captured with all video output settings at maximum using COAA - AstroVideo to sum 150
frames in real-time. Slight perturbations by wind, drive gear tolerances and seeing
contributed to this less than pinpoint registration of light across several pixels
producing a more bloated than true appearance. Phobos was in mid transit. F/18 See animation

| Below: Animation
shows Deimos left as Mars moving in retrograde sky motion- October 2005. Images captured
with 10-inch Newtonian and Mintron integrating CCD video camera. A short exposure of Mars
was taken and placed over the saturated region to show its position and scale. |
