re: re: I agree, very tough
Mars is high in the sky in the early morning here (Central California), a beautiful sight (though I have not been able to make decent photos, even with a digicam).
The best telescopic view I've had so far this opposition has been murky nonetheless, a few details popping into view from time to time, but mostly a mottled wash out. Even the polar cap is murky.
Next month, though, I'm hoping for better.
