When I shot Mars on 4-1 the seeing was marginal. It got better later when I shot Saturn but by then Mars was to low. It's getting smaller fast too.

Andreas,
A splendid image of a rapidly receding target. I thoroughly enjoyed the image. Thanks for sharing it.

Your image looks very similar to what I observed just a day or two after your image was taken. At only 9 arc seconds good seeing and patience is necessary. I enjoyed the image and thanks for posting. I'll keep observing as Mar's recedes and I hope you keep posting images. Martin
