Here in the U.S., most of the states have been having down right horrible seeing for a few months now. I'm hoping it will let up some time soon, but being in an El Nino pattern, I'm not sure. It will help having Mars so high in the sky though. You guys got Jupiter this last year, I guess we get to have Mars.

Thanks Joel, I think it works out pretty well really, Jupiter is heading your way and Saturn is coming south, a fair trade. As for Mars, I have never really put much time into it, although my new IR filter makes it look ok, even at very low altitude.
Looking forward to seeing your Mars images as it gets closer to opposition.
Regards
Trevor
