In this video: Mars through my telescope and Mars through the Nikon P1000 camera.

On December 1, 2022, Mars will be closest to Earth - 81.4 million km (50.6 million mi).
On December 8, 2022, Mars will be at opposition, and will be occulted by the Moon on the same day.

Taking advantage of the good weather on November 19, 2022 (about 2 million km further than it will be on December 1), I pointed my telescope and super zoom camera at Mars. In this video you will see what Mars looks like in high magnification with the Nikon Coolpix P1000 camera and through a 8 inch Newtonian telescope! You will see water ice clouds on Mars!

Equipment used in this video:

Super-zoom camera:
Nikon Coolpix P1000 - I used the maximum zoom offered by this camera in manual mode (125x optical zoom + 3.6x digital zoom)

Telescope:
GSO N-203/800 f/4 + Barlow lens 3x + 10mm eyepiece + Sony a6400 camera
