Hi Sol -

Another excellent drawing of your observation. I was also out this morning from 4:00 until sunrise enjoying good seeing from Western NY (a rarity!) Your sketch is very accurate to what I observed visually through my 10" mak/cass. Your 6" refractor must be a fine instrument. I only wish my attempts to capture this detail via the webcam had been more succesful! 8^)

clear and steady skies-

Another wonderful drawing. That scope of yours must be a very fine optic. Who is the maker?
Thanks,

Wes -

What an excellent image! It has seemed to me that the cloud bands on the planet are more subdued this apparition than last. Does it seem this way to you too? Your processing in this image is beautifully done.

best,
Alan
