Mars 2 weeks past opposition

On 01/31/2025 10:33 pm by Guido Santacana | San Juan, Puerto Rico

This composite of Mars was done 2 weeks past its January 16 opposition. For this session I experienced superior seeing conditions (8 in the 10-point scale by Pickering) and mostly transparent skies (4 in a 5-point scale).
