Mars

by Dave North

Pretty good seeing tonight. Excellent looks at Acidalia, Xanthe, and Meridiani with extraordinarily fine resolution in Margaritifer -- good tonal spread and filimentary detail.

Not much remarkable from Argyre and no hint of Hellas on the limb. But this is one of the better views we've had this opposition.

Using "Thumper" (the C8) tonight with a binoviewer.
