MARS
Before I saw this list, I was looking at Mars for the first time through my 'scope. I could quite clearly see the polar ice cap and some of the darker surface markings, but could not see much of difference using filters. The seeing was so-so. It had been a hot day.
RIGEL
I could just barely make out the binary with a 6" reflector. Rigel B appears to be sitting right next to Rigel A with no clear separation at 100x mag.
