Mars last night (8/10/20)

Sketch of Mars last night, seeing was pretty reasonable, much better than it has been of late for me.

Very good 👍

Just realised I've marked up the longitudes wrong. Should probable be ~ 85° at the preceding edge and ~265° at the following edge.

Lovely sketch Lee! 

If youre interested, the BAA handbook indicates that if the time of your observation was UT/GMT, the CM would be 188°. If at BST it would be 173.38°.

Thanks Mike.

I usually record time in BST in my logbook, no other reason other than that's what I've always done.

I took the CM from SkySafari which I think was actually 174.x but rounded to 175 because it was close. I do have the BAA handbook actually but for some reason have never used it for Mars CM!
