With the moon coming to prominence again, I am enjoying a little planetary (and lunar) viewing.
On Mars this morning, could see the polar cap easy at 178x with an obvious dark region near the pole.
Had a go at Mercury, but just got red on one side blue on the other of the image (can someone please explain this

)
Saturn was worth a peek tonight, and jupiter has had great moments of seeing @ 178X.
I seem to keep going back to the seibert Optics 7mm widefield (despite the internal refections)
Jupiter showed great detail including the GRS as it passed the meridian.....
Your experiences ?
