< Previous Next >This is the closest image of opposition I managed to take. First I thought seeing would have been good, but examining the images showed worse conditions. There was also some haze in the sky, which lowered transparency and image was a bit too dim for my scope at f30. Anyway, nice to have some results after the cloudy period!
