Did some imaging before my wife and I set off to do some early Christmas shopping.  Walmart had some fantstic deals!  We are making progress!  Today was the first time I did not have to use my 12V hairdryer to keep the corrector plate from dewing up.  The transparency was great, but the seeing was pretty bad.  Here Mars showing CM26.  It looks like some polar haze is extending from Mare Acidalium.
