Opposition. At times of perfect seeing surface details are sharp and high in contrast. The sky is absolutely clear with a brilliant Milky Way above and transparency is as clear as I have ever seen it. Mars is too bright in the 41-cm aperture, so I am using a neutral density filter at 590x and no neutral density filter at 670x. "Mountian of Mitchel" obviously detached from main cap.

More QuickCam imaging tonight. No second drawing.
