Last opposition in 2018 I was using an 127mm Triplet and managed some reasonable results, once the dust storm had cleared.

Thanks Jeff. That's a fantastic grab for that year. I remember it well and that storm lasted for months. All I ever managed to observe and capture in 2018 was a red smudge. It was a shame because Mars was closer that year.

Thanks Pete. Until I can get the big Newt on to a mount it's all I've got to work with.
