Hi all,

Here is an idea of what you can get with a smaller scope.

I'm not sure what the seeing was tonight. Managed to get a clip between showers.

Notice the small white spot just up and to the left of the large cloud at the bottom. I've seen it on some of the Hubble-type Mars images that have been posted so I know it's not just a processing artifact. I think.

Clear Skies,

Andrew
