[AZ-Observing] Re: Last nite's observing at Flatiron (was: Cherry Rd)

//Sinus Sabaeus is visible at 2:30 these days, but Syrtis Major is still

Tom,

I have to revise my time here. I was on the road home at 2:45, and it takes
me 1 hour + to tear down, so the latest it could have been was 1:30 or so. 
We started abserving Mars a little after moonrise at about 1:15.
S&T's Mars profiler shows Syrtis Major as near the proceeding edge at
1-1:30am, 8-8:30 UT for the 22nd. Is this correct? If not, maybe I saw
a new, previously unknown, feature. Or maybe I saw something that wasn't
there, probably because of the terrible conditions last night . . .

Maybe I am using the Profiler wrong. Hmm. . .

Matt
