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