Went out with the 12 inch scope tonight and did a few firsts. First time I have observed with it at 300x, and it was not to bad for tracking, image was good, and I was able to pick out more detail in Mars than I ever have. Also its the first time I have used an Orange wratten filter on Mars and that was also pretty good. Hopefully we get another clear night later in the month but at least I got one halfway decent night, before the fog rolled in.
