Had a great night viewing last night. Having the monthly challenge MADE me get the scope out and write down what was seen.
Rigel: Was a great view directly above. Able to split it with the 10mm EP. Used the 2x Barlow for a closer look, But the "further away" view was better. Had a go at Sirius while i was up there but no good. Need a fine focuser i think and a smaller EP (6mm?)
Mars Polar ice cap: Was difficult to view because it was so low in the sky, but the ice cap stands out regardless a white tinge to the northern part of the planets disk.
Tonight looking good for more
Happy viewing
Benno
