Default Mars in Excellent Seeing on December 26
Hi all,

Last night was one of the best nights of 2007 for astronomy here in Arkansas. Seeing was very steady. I was able to get these images of Mars with my Takahashi CN-212 telescope in cassegrain mode.

Here is the one with the barlow + extender, at about f/37

And the one with just the barlow, at f/24.8

Near the planet's limb in the southern hemisphere there are some clouds visible.
