Description

Eleven sketches made in August and September 1988, as Mars approached opposition with an apparent diameter from 19.3" to 23.5". Magnification used was 150x, the highest I could realistically achieve as the only Barlow lens I then owned was not even achromatic, and anyway the narrow field of view of a Huygenian 6 mm eyepiece was already borderline practical on a nonmotorized mount. Animation originally made in 2002.
