Hello,

Images of Mars from this morning. The seeing was a bit worse than expected, but no complains here. At least Mars clears the tree tops here in South Florida.

Regards,

Angel

Hi Angel,

These are amongst the better images I have seen so far this year. They are a good match to what I had seen visually in my 6" refractor last year in the weeks before the great Martian dust storm.

I am sure your imaging ability will thrill us as Mars gets closer.

Thanks, Sol Robbins

Angel,

Thank you for posting your outstanding images of Mars. I too made an observation of Mars one hour forty minutes prior to your images. It is posted now on the forum.

The best of luck and happy imaging.

Carlos
