BRADLEY 1953

Very nice indeed.

I really like the latter sketch showing Syrtis Major.

Super sketches Mike, despite using a shaving mirror !

Nice one.

Lovely sketch Mike, packed full of detail. Looking forward to the next one. Chris.

Yes, great images, and I agree, very similar to the visual experience under exceptionally good seeing.

Lovely images indeed, but I think I favour the second one.

LOVELY SKETCHES.

GREAT STUFF .

Really superb images Simon.

 ONE OF THE BEST VIEWS OF MARS I HAVE HAD DURING THIS PRESENT APPARITION . THE SEEING WAS UNUSUALLY GOOD ( ANT 2) AND  STEADY.

Another great sketch Mike. I went to bed relatively early last night at ( 12.40am ) and thus missed out on Mars, because I wanted to get up at 5 am to go deer watching.  Cheers Chris.

Great image Geoff.

Very nice image. Well done.

BEAUTIFUL IMAGE.

Very good effort indeed, and quite similar to my own quick sketch from the Worcs/Shropshire border around the same time.  Cheers  Chris.

Beautiful sketch Mike. I also had probably my best view of this apparition but much later than you around 1am UT. I managed a quick sketch before the skies filled in once again during the early hours, which I hope to post in the next day or two.   Best wishes Chris.

Superb image.

Brilliant.

Good work Lee.

Lovely sketch.

Another excellent sketch and detailed observation.

Hi David, nice observation, 274x mag produces a sizeable disc, also a bonus with a 100mm aperture. Like Mike, I have rarely benefitted from powers above 200x, and sometimes restricted to only 99x.

Fabulous image, great detail.
