Mars : 10th October 22:00BST

Had a brief look at Mars tonight - before the only cloud in the sky obscured it !!

It was very bright and I did notice that when the cloud started to obscure it the view got dimmer and more comfortable to watch.

That's a wonderful sketch David, and beautifully executed too!

Excellent sketch @dweller25colours are same as what I’ve been seeing, it’s like a salmon pink?  What eyepiece were you using?
