Please do not attempt these kind of images without proper filters and never ever look directly at the sun! |

PhotographerRod PommierLocationPommier Observatory, Portland, OR, USADate2012-03-07 through 2012-04-17EquipmentCelestron Compustar C14 Telescope/Mount with Tele Vue 2x Power Mate (f/22) Point Grey Research Flea3 Color Camera. Best 300 frames out of 1500 at 24 fps for left image, best 400 frames out of 3000 at 60 fps for center and right images. Seeing conditions were poor (Damian Peach scale), but clear weather in March and April are rare in Oregon, so any data are better than no data.DescriptionEarth passed between the Sun and Mars, known as opposition, on 2012-03-03 and made closest approach on 2012-03-05. Around these times, Mars ‘disk is illuminated in full phase and exhibits its greatest apparent diameter. Subsequently, Earth pulls ahead of Mars and we look back on the morning terminator of a waning gibbous Mars whose disk shrinks as it seemingly recedes in the distance. These images show that even small changes in disk size have a profound impact on the apparent sizes of surface features, like Acidalia Planitia, Margaritifer Terra, Sinus Meridiani, and Syrtis Major, making them progessively more challenging to capture. |

While the proms along the solar limb were not large, there were many. Filaments and sunspots were also plentiful in this image. Sunspot AR1460 is at the top of this shot. Coming around to the 2 o'clock position near the limb is Sunspot AR1462. Continuing down and to the left of AR1462 is Sunspot AR1459. Moving down and slightly left is Sunspot AR1465 with a newly emerging Sunspot region directly to its left. |
