Venus, Mars and Neptune 13/1/17

Amazingly the sky was clear after Sun set, so i headed out to my absurdity and this is what I saw!

The features seen on Mars correlate well with the LCM and appear to show Sinus Meridiani and Margeritifer Sinus close to the centre of the disc. The arm of Sinus Sabaeus extends upward towards the proceeding limb with Syrtis Major near to the limb. This is reversed image as I used a prism diagonal! Amazing considering the disc is around 5.4 arc seconds.

I saw exactly the same, that was until the clouds came in and spoiled the view. The light hazy cloud did seem to create a bit of a "Venus bow" if there is such a thing

Very nice sketches Mike. Clouded out here but got a quick view last night.
