Description

We have been plagued with cloudy nights for many weeks. I had a break in the clouds so that I could work on the observatory rotation and Mars peaked through the clouds for about 20 minutes. I wasn't expecting much due to high clouds and 96% humidity but was pleasantly surprised to see some detail and the polar cap. Although I was pleasantly surprised with what I captured due to photographing through a FISH BOWL, I was more syched that I was able to get the Nextome rotating the dome after the first try!!! KNOCK ON WOOD!!!!
