Just got back inside from Mars and Moon Watching. Wow...f**king wow. Was viewing with the 22mm,3x barlow, no filter and there was the beautiful, pinkish planet, with details visible. o.o So, I added the 1.5 to the rig, and got a larger, yet not quite as clear, view. 0.0

Did some experimenting with filters, mostly the light blue, and yellow, as they helped define details even more. And it wasn't my imagination on the pictures! That is the polar icecap! *does dance of the demented happy astronomer* Shared the view with a few chosen worthies. Have room for more, if there are any locals *cough aki cough* who would like to come on over for some viewing one of these late nights. Or any on my flist who I actually know by sight. :)

No pictures tonight, as I wasn't feeling ambitions enough to drag out the laptop. I guess all that mulching and yardwork.;)

I would stay out later to watch as it reaches directly above me, and as it sinks to the western horizon, but I do have a dance class tomorrow.

Here's hoping tomorrow night equals tonight. This area is perfect for skygazing, as it is desert conditions, when it isn't raining. Warm days, cold clear nights (cold in comparison that is, but it works). And
