Hi all,

Managed a decent Jupiter and recognizable Mars despite high heat and only so-so seeing. Hoping Mars will get better as it gets higher in the sky.

Good shots Paul!
It sure looks like Mars requires at least an F/30+ to obtain a good image scale in order to reveal much detail... (of course it will get better every month...)


Thanks for the hard work, and for sharing! wink
