  1. Nice sharp image. Nice to just see how big it looks, at close approach. Interestingly, I had a 60 mm spotting scope which showed two bands on jupiter at 30x mag, so can't wait to see it in my 80 mm ed!
  2. So, if I have trouble with pale pink, it might appear white to me. I suspect if I looked through a 8 inch or bigger, the extra light gathering might override my handicap?
  3. No. Also two different lenses showed same colour. A 10mm ortho, and a 8-24mm baader zoom.
  4. Hi John And that is exactly what I hoped to see! 😏. My magnification maxed out at 150 but I'd have expected some colour visually, with both scopes. The pale band I saw did match with sky safari pro. It was when syrtis major wasn't visible on 10th October.
  5. Hi. I tried to do that but no luck. But, I could stick a dslr on when we have a clear night? Sky safari pro certainly supports its position. Of course, any imaging could mislead any conclusions on colour, as it could concentrate the colour giving it a redder colour.
  6. Hi Callisto Thank you for your reply. See my response to John. Definitely not jupiter. I'm familiar with viewing that planet.😉 It may be my eyes.
  7. Hi John, Definitely not jupiter. Location was correct for mars. I've seen jupiter and this was definitely not that planet. On all occasions also, there were no moons, which would immediately alert me. I do have issues with seeing very pale pink colour, so that might be contributing to my problem. So, it definitely wouldn't look red then? Mark
  8. Hi. I looked at Mars for first time in my life recently. I expected to see a red disc. Instead it looked white with a faint dark band. Anyone else experiencing white rather than a red colour? My wife also confirmed similar view, so it's not my eyes that are the problem. Thank you. Mark
