Hi Ron, Your processing is excellent! You have graduated from the ranks of an expert visual observer to an expert planetary imager - congratulations! I don't...
I just got home from LSP III about an hour ago. Saturday afternoon, the weather looked a little iffy with clouds scudding into Arizona from Mexico. But the...

Michael, Maybe I understand you now. I think there's only one loop road that takes you to the base of the Kofas. They stick up above the surrounding terrain...

Hi all, I've dedicated my web site this month to articles about observing mars and its moons. Mars will be about 80% as large as seen in 2003, but that's...
