Mars

Mars

After a long six weeks of cloudy nights I could finally take out the Dob again to do some visual. My hope was to have a look at Mars as I missed the planet’s opposition this year due to the aforementioned cloudfest.

Tonight was still not optimal – low clouds all over the place and Mars right next to the near full moon. Still managed to take a picture. Mars is moving away at a fast rate now and I will have to wait till 2025 to hopefully be able to capture it during oppostion.
