Tom,
Another great shot....especially considering the target is only 10"
across. When I zoom into the image (330% on my browser) and enlarge Mars a
great deal, you can see a bluish haze wrapping the limb of the planet on
its sunlit side, not more than about 1" in width. Is this the thin Martian
atmosphere showing up in your image? That would be pretty awesome if it is.
Mike
