Subject: 20030916 mars (good seeing)

Dear all mars observers,

Finally I got some good seeing one night ago (was bad again yesterday evening) with relatively good images in the 16" telescope. Deimos was also seen ~70" above Mars limb to the left, during this observation. Lots of white haze around the Northern and morning limb (and also evening limb in northern hemisphere.

Regards,
