Hi,

Mars presented a lot of detail that was even evident to some neighbors who got a first time view of the red planet.

This has been a great opposition.

Excellent sketch, Sol.

I had my clearest views tonight while Solis Lacus was transiting the CM. I could not believe the detail I had at 600x.

You are right, this has been a great opposition so far - I am going to miss Mars observing as it flies away.
