Hi All,
Isn't it strange weather we're getting, one minute its dense fog, next its rain, next its prestine clear skies, well, I got a few minutes of clear sky and got a glimpse of Mars between the rainfall, so after having a good look through the eyepiece, I slapped on the toucam.

Has anyone else noticed that Mars has lost abit of its brilliance/intensity with the naked eye, or am I imagining this.

coruscations attending the whole length of the luminosity, giving to the phenomena the aspect of a wrathful messenger, and not that of a tranquil body pursuing a harmless course..comet of 1680

Thanks lads, as I finished recording the AVI last night, it started to rain, more like snow and got up this morning to a see a blanket of snow on the ground,
Thermometer in the dome reads a minimum of -2 last night.
This image is one of the occasions where I could see more in the eyepiece then what was captured by the camera.
