I’ve been checking out Mars for the last few nights. It’s really really bright compared to normal.

We have very dark skies here in the rural area I live in, and I looked at Mars over the weekend and it was very noticeable, a bright red-orange disc in the sky. But last night and I’m afraid, again tonight, it’s going to be too smokey here in eastern California to see it.

Of course, to my east is an eight thousand foot volcano, not be seeing a thing for this year.

Did get a glimpse of Jupiter’s bands last night with a Vortex spotting scope set for 60X. Not well suited to sky stuff, but other than hard to aim, worked well enough.
