Mars 08/10/2020

Had an absolutely beautiful view of the red planet last night as I'm sure many did. It looked almost photographic when the seeing got really steady, used up to 240x mag in my 8inch dob. 

Anyway here is my attempt at sketching mars. 😇

Clear skies,

Thomas

Excellent observation and drawing.

I also keep seeing subtle shadings in the Northern hemisphere but they don’t show up in other peoples photo images - strange !

Those are fabulous sketches Thomas, and a true representation of the view through the eyepiece. Truly excellent!
