Took advantage of the clear sky on 3rd/4th of September to do some early morning stargazing.

This is the first attempt I've made at Mars. It's apparent size is till pretty tiny.


Jupiter is back in the sky now, the red spot looks darker since last viewing it in February.

Nice shots,
Mars is always a toughie, even when its "close",
Interesting that the GRS has changed tint again, looking forward to seeing it again soon,

Love the image of Jupiter, great detail there.

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning.
