Mars, the evening before opposition.  It does not look like the conditions will allow to image tomorrow when Mars is at opposition, so here is Mars one day before.  The conditions were variable with high clouds passing through as well as an  occasional Con-trail from the planes leaving Atlanta airport.  The CM is almost the same as yesterday and the images have been made again with the Meade 140 with some extra rings added.  As always, click the thumbnail for the larger image.
