Mars - 1st October 2020 : 22:30

[dweller25]

After a day of changeable weather the late evening sky mostly cleared of clouds so out I went. Seeing was quite good.

Mars is climbing quite high now so the view at 22:30 BST was the best I have had so far of Mars this time around.

The polar cap is very small now and seems to have lost it’s intense whiteness. Syrtis Major and Mare Cimmerium were the most prominent features.

Overall a nice view of the Red planet 😀
