23cm Maksutov Cassegrain, 310×
Wr#15 (Yellow) filter
Seeing: Ant III
(NOTE)
The Martian disk has much shrunk further since the previous
observation on 18 Feb, and I doubt profitable observation will be
possible for much longer. M Cimmerium/M Tyrrhenum to south of disk
with narrow npc on the northern limb, but little else of note.
(Given
the area of the Martian disk visible at the time of the observation, I
would have expected Syrtis Mj to be present at the following
terminator, but didn't record it. Perhaps the disk diameter was too
challenging, being about 8 arc seconds, and the seeing not being quite
good enough.)
