Feb10th-Mars and Saturn in good seeing

SPX350 F35.9, PGRFlea3, Astrodon filters.

Alpha centauri twinkiled oh so slightly and the diff rings on my star collimation were round and still. Tried a shorter Fl of 12.6meters instead of 19meters and Mars looked good with steady air but scudding fluffy slow cloud moving through for an hour. No technical problems for once, but moving onto Saturn the seeing fell in quality to above avg maybe. A decent night for once.

Mars GIF came out a bit wobbly, sorry.
Mars images were 1500/1542/1619hrs UT.
Saturn images were 1637/1658/1718hrs UT.

Thanks, John.
