Mars-First time 9/17/05

Posted By James Pickering

It was probably an "8", the air being very stable and Mars directly overhead. The temp was about 85 degrees with about 90% humidity, not dark but very stable, I used about 470 power to view with no degradation in the image. I got clouded out last night but will try again tonight.....

Thanks, I am not familiar with the blue channel but I'll look into it. During all my 2003 visual observations I never saw this scale of cloud formation over the pole.
Is this something extraordinary or does it occur all the time?

Thanks and clear skies.
