Hi John,
Apart from the reason that Mars is still rising rather late, it's size (in arc seconds) doesn't offer very much for the observer to see

Hi John

Mars is not huge on my observing list at the moment.

Cheers Petra d.

Why? Is it going to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity when it looks as big as a full moon?
