Mars 24/2/12

Did a sketch of Mars this morning under very good seeing.

Used the 8" dob and 3.5mm eyepiece at 342x. Two cloud features were seen at the preceding limb and a bank of subtle haze along the opposite limb and along the south under the elongated dark feature.

Time UT: 23/2/12 , 15.30
Time Local: 24/2/12 , 02.30
CM: 199.65
Mag -1.1
Size 13.6"

I'll try and get a coloured version up a bit later
