Mars Dec 26 2007

Mars on December 26, 2007 at 07:26 UTC, taken with CN-212 with ToUCam camera with 2x Barlow + extender, which makes the focal ratio about f/37. Seeing was very good.

Mars was 16 arcseconds in apparent diameter. Some of the faint blue areas visible near the edge of the planet are clouds similar to the ones visible in this Hubble image: http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/2007/45/image/a/format/web/
