Mars 19th July vgood seeing

SPX350 F41.3, PGRFlea3, Baader RGB filters.

Seeing was forecast to be good and did not disappoint. The star collimation Airy Disc looked perfect in focus with steady central bright spot with arcs and rings visible constantly.

During some of the captures the seeing looked 9/10 as the image just vibrated in focus. Unfortunately Mars is not at its best and is a little small now at 14.26" and 89.33% Phase and the contrast compared to May seems a lot lower.

Regards, John.
