michael.h.f.wilkinson Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 North east sounds wrong, and I have never spotted either Phobos (mag 11.3 at most, much fainter now) or Deimos (12.4 at most). They are usually lost in the glare of Mars. Did you see Cappella through some haze? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astroeddie Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Mars is in Gemini. Extra "red" star near the twins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
