Mars and Saturn from Melbourne this morning

Hi everyone,

The seeing in Melbourne was good again this morning and was also able to have my first go at Saturn for the year which is now getting higher in the sky, however the seeing for Saturn had deteriorated quite a lot by the time I got the scope on to it.

Mars appears to show the volcanoes of Elysium quite well as well as some cloud around Olympus Mons near the terminator. There is also a real indentation across the North Polar Cap.

Hope others got out there and clear skies.
