Can we shoot Mars?

Can we take pics of Mars tomorrow night? The best I have is a 600mm f/5.6.

I don't know if this is doable :confused:

Do you have any teleconverters? I've stacked my 1.4 and 2x while shooting the moon. Doing something similar here might also help.

suss out your local amateur astronomy group or your local university, a lot of them will let you mount your camera onto their telescope and even have all of the adapters to fit most makes of camera

Without a decent telescope, you can shoot it but you'll get a little blob of light, maybe reddish, but nothing approaching a planetary disc.
