Re: [Utah-astronomy] Mars

Speaking of Wolf Creek, I had such horrible trouble trying to get going with my Meade (I now believe I understand how to do it, and should have better luck next time) that I didn't really observe anything on Thursday night-Friday morning. But I did glimpse Mars, about 3 a.m. Friday. At first I thought it was Jupiter, it was so huge and bright, then I remembered that Jupiter had set long before and this was easterly. Wow! I can't wait until it gets closer. Best, Joe PS: Thanks to those who helped me during a very trying time. You guys are the best.
