I had a visual attempt at this last night, but as expected, without success. It looks like it will be a few days until we get visuals from the Mars probes.

There's been some lovely pics coming in from our CIOC Siding Spring group.
It's been a pleasure to work with some of the very best Amateurs as well as the Pro's during this encounter.
