Hanging in there for Syrtis Major to roll around. Just a glimpse tonight as Mars certainly is a challenge to locate in early evening. But so far I still can get a couple of clips before seeing starts to degrade with night time cooling. Getting focus with the 14.25" is the challenge but the high contrast of Mars helps.
