Mars 9th March - best Mars so far!
SPX350 F36.3, PGRFlea3, Astrodon filters.
Five hours of avg and below avg seeing with two 5min windows of calmness allowing me to get something and the Mars image turned out to be my best so far near 7/10 seeing. I have always wanted to get Olympus Mons since 2007 but it never moves on to the disc - I always get Syrtis and Sinus Sabaeus only!
Saturn was taken in fair seeing but mostly seeing was below avg even though the stars were quite calm, the wind picked up at 2am so I went to bed quite pleased with Mars.
Mars-1336hrs. Resized 130pc.
Saturn-1452hrs.
Thanks, John.
