Mars in excellent seeing!

About this image

We had some excellent seeing last night (although the skies were rather hazy), and as a result I was able to use a power of x600 to examine the Martian disk which still shows a number of interesting details even with a small apparent diameter of 5.4".  

Also tried for the supernova but of course, it is behind some trees and haze persistently covered the region!
