Description

The latest compilation including an image captured on 27th July - opposition day. I had hoped for a good week leading up to opposition, but it was not to be - clear skies, but poor seeing. My best image of the past month was from 21st July.

After a gap on my travels during August I will be trying to do some images of Mars receding, perhaps with details revealing themselves as the dust settles. I will be doing this from Strasbourg with Mars at 15 degrees, using a 5 inch Mak-Cass.
