[ATMoB-discuss] Mars this morning...

[Paul A. Valleli]

John,
Isn't Mars about 8 arc-secs. at this time? Quite an
accomplishment! Yes, best shots usually occur at
F/30 to F/60.
The Northern band of green seems quite strong and
straight compared to prior apparitions.

  >After a couple of months of poor seeing and
  simply bad luck, I finally had fine seeing for
  Mars this morning. So far the seeing conditions
  for this apparition of Mars have not been very
  good for those of us in New England, at least when
  compared to the conditions of 2003 and 2005.
