After weeks of clouds, clear skies at last! Seeing was around 8/10 this evening. I was tweaking the collimation of the C11 and I was able to improve the collimation.

Mars is getting smaller and smaller! Note the details on the Hellas Region including the round feature there. Note also the long cloud that cuts from Hellespontus to Hellas.

Note also the round features in Moab/Arabia region. There are also interesting "canals" cutting through the Moab.

The South Polar cap is still visible but very small now.

Regards,

Chris
