Yet another feeble attempt at Mars. The sketch is not so good but the exercise is really helping me to see the detail. I have found that the TV Plossls work really well on the planets, much better I think than the wide field EP's. I also used the Edmund RKE's which seem to have a bit cooler glass than the TV Plossls but perform really excellent on Mars when used with filters.

Vincent,

I believe your observation of Mars to be an excellent one. I am glad that you are seeing more detail with each observation. The only way to improve is to practice. I look forward to your future observations.

Carlos

Ah, another fellow 4-incher Martian nabber ;-). Say that's a great sketch Vincent! Indeed, the 4-incher can show a fine view of Mars. Please keep up the good works and I'd love to see more.
