Have been fortunate to have mostly clear skies and reasonable to very good seeing this week. Sleep deprivation is catching up but have to make the most of the good conditions, glad I don't have to work any more.
Been using the 203mm newt and 127mm apo and enjoying teasing out recognisable features such as Syrtis Major visually plus taking more avis'. Still delighted that it is possible to see features on something that is still over 75 Mkm away and only 12 arc sec app dia. July and August should be very interesting if the weather co-operates and Mars doesn't develop major dust storms.
