Mars 12/11/2022

[Siegfried1969]

Another sketch of Mars around 01:00 am this morning. Observation done with my trusty 110mm reflector, Fujiyama HD-Ortho eyepiece and Baader Contrast Booster.

As the opposition is approaching, Mars gets larger, but it is still very hard to fix the details like I see them on paper. Most details can only be seen with peripheral vision and often I see a detail, but when I look again, it's gone or it's in another place. It took me around 1 hour to make this sketch.

Excellent 👍

Have you thought about using Binoviewers ?

Well done on capturing that detail, nice sketch.
