Just came in from a good viewing session of Mars and Saturn. Good crisp results with Mars dark areas and polar cap visible in my Bresser AR102S with Baader Contrast Booster filter. Best EP tonight was an old Agena 70 degree 10mm EP I use to keep weight down on my goto mount, also ran the Shorty 2x barlow which took me to 120x on my 600mm fl scope. Sky quality is pretty good here away from the cities but there was some moisture around.
