Mars - January 26, 2002
Here are some Mars images. The seeing was not
very good, but enough to see a bright area in the North. Elysium?
Oh, rumor is Don P is having a b-day soon. Happy birthday Don!

Masatsugu: I am sorry as I have been
gone for a few days and am only now back in the e-mail. Yes, you are correct
regarding the July 07 image. Reviewing the tape this morning, it was
time-stamped July 06. Accounting for UT this makes it July 07. I suspect that I
wrote July 07 on my notes, then added another day to it when editing the images.
Sorry for any confusion! Hard to believe those images are 7 months old already.
The day before I left, a big package from
I have alot of
reading to do!! Thank you so much for
sending them! I would really like to
reimburse you for shipping if I may? It
had to cost alot to send this package across the pond.
I have a belated set of Mars images to
process today. I took them a day or so before I left. The seeing seemed to be
fairly good. I will try to get them out today. My seeing is usually very poor
this time of year. The best time to catch the Red Planet is just before sunset
while the air is still stable. Finding Mars is proving to be very hard now in
the finder scope!
Really
enjoyed Parker's B'day card!
Thanks so much

Mars - February 12, 2002
Hey everyone: Here is a belated image set of
Mars from early last week. I've been away for a few days. The seeing was OK,
but exposures are getting long and affecting image quality. Especially in Blue
and Green light. Mars is getting hard to find in the finder scope with the Sun
still up. Lots of fine detail in the Red image.
Didn't miss a thing while I was gone. It has
been variably cloudy all the while I was gone.
Thanks
