Canon M50 Mark II with Canon EF to EF-M adaptor, Kenko TELEPLUS-HD 1.4x DGX extender, and Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM at 350 mm (cropped to 930 mm), f/8, 1/500 second, and ISO 400.

Nice!  The 55-250 + TC gives reasonable results on M.

From Florida Mars and the Moon were close enough to be in the same telescopic field of view. I captured them with an M6ii through a Meade ETX-125 scope and Viltrox 0.71x speed booster. Also a closeup of Mars with a full-spectrum M200 and Kiron 2x teleconverter through that scope by stacking 4k video frames:

The following night I tried out BackyardEOS software to make a pixel resolution video of Mars with the M6ii, stacking that got me the 'best' opposition image of Mars in over 30 years of trying:
