  SPC clear. "Mountains of Mitchel" are seperated from main cap and now obvious on east side of cap. NPR hood seen. MH. BC = 1.
  Nearling closest approach in a few hours.

  SPC clear. NPR hood seen. MH. MC just west of SPC. BC = 1. "Mountains of Mitchel" obvious detached on east side of cap (SPC).
  At times of perfect seeing surface details are sharp and high in contrast. Using this 41-cm f/.6.9 Newtonian with only 12% obstruction accomplishes high contrast images even at nearly 1,200x magnifications when the seeing conditions permit. A light breeze helped.
  As Mars approaches the nearest I will ever see it again I will stay up to observe the event that should occur at 0820 UT. 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 will use a neutral density filter.
