Mars June 9, 2005

Hi all,

Mars continues to get better and better. Here is an image shot on June 9 in decent seeing. The planet looks status quo for now. My 610nm Longpass filter sure works nice on Mars!! Funny thing, it works better if I do not use a NIRB filter....go figure! :-D

Looking good once again, Paul. BTW, what program are you using for the Mars simulations? As I recall, you used it for 2003 also, but I've forgotten its name (or was it that Japanese website?).

Thanks,
Eric
