A WEATHER EYE ON MARS

[BRADLEY 1953]

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

Fantastic sketch, superb detail and nice colour rendition. 👌 I too popped out for a super quick view with the 100ED-R and first glance was amazed at the detail, even upping to 320x the detail seemed intact (nice to know the scope is capable of this). I thought it was worth a closer look and a sketch, so swapped for the heavy duty mount and literally got two seconds of clear view before the clouds obscured the planet......permanently! So that was that. 😕
