I saw it last night about 2:30 in my 4" f/8.6 refractor at 175X. I've never seen so much detail on Mars. It sure is bright right now. Debbie

Several short outages over the weekend, high winds, microbursts, but no rain (at least at my house). My power supply kept me up, no outage lasted more than a few seconds in West Valley.

Joe- couldn't open the page. Anyway, even "so-so" photo efforts are worth sharing for critiques. And, I admire anyone who can do something I can't. Did you receive my email about the MARSpectacular at the Mars Society's Mars Dersert Research Station near Hanksville at the end of the month? At the same time, I'll be retrieving the NexStar 11GPS that Celestron has donated for our accessible scope - thought you might like to do a story... -----Original Message----- From: Joe Bauman [mailto:bau@desnews.com] Sent: Monday, August 04, 2003 7:00 AM To: Visit http://www.utahastronomy.com for the photo gallery. Subject: [Utah-astronomy] OK Mars picture Dear Friends, I want to send this note to the group to undo a little of my embarrassment. Through some production error a view of Mars that I took Saturday morning was printing wrong in the paper -- it was blown up so big that the grain of the negative overwhelmed the detail, and it was not flipped as I had ask that I should be. So I have put a better version of it on the gallery that Cyn established. It is the second one in it.

Sorry about the email I just sent - it was intended only for Joe Bauman. (At least I didn't call anyone names...)

Terrific Mars images...
by Richard Tenney 04 Aug '03

04 Aug '03

...taken through a humble 6-inch Criterion RV-6 Dynascope no less using a digital web cam: http://home.austin.rr.com/campbelp/mars.html The really interesting thing is (aside from the quality of the images) is the rapidly growing size of the planet. I posted this yesterday but have no idea if anyone saw it given the problems with xmission. Apologies if this post is redundant. Rich __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
