Mars April 18th - Best Yet.

[johnh]

SPX350 F39.1, PGRFlea3, Baader RGB filters.

Seeing was predicted to be average but it quickly improved to the point of being near very good before cloud came to ruin things, after cloud cleared seeing was not good.  Seeing did improve for a fair Saturn but deteriorated quickly.  I got a good view of Olympus Mons and with this level of seeing the boring side of Mars is not so boring after all.

I made 7 Mars sets of RGB one after the other every 10mins showing how seeing improved in the GIF image.

Mar 1129hrs

Mars Gif 1031 to 1129hrs UT

Saturn 1308hrs UT.

Thanks, John.
