Mars 6th March

SPX350 F38.4, PGRFlea3, Baader RGB. RGB 1436hrs UT.

Pushed the 5xPowermate to 8.5x for tiny Mars (fl 13,500mm). Seeing looked good after collimating on a star, with the Airy disc I could see a central dot and arcs around the star. Once I found Mars the surface detail looked good but seeing was variable and deteriorated as Mars climbed higher.

Thanks, John.
