Tom,
Seeing for Mars on Sarurday night was terrible. I could barely use 100X
on the 4" refractor and, even then, focus was a question mark. I noted
some very indistinct shadowing and a "white glow" that was probably
the S. polar cap. No sign of the N. Even this view was intermittent and
very infrequent.
I got very good views the previous weekend at twice the mag.
