Two items, neither of which takes up much room in the car: Folding camp chair, and a parallelogram. The zenith is suddenly prime binocular territory. If your tripod is tall enough, you can dispense with the chair. Great report, thanks! On Sat, Jan 31, 2009 at 6:08 PM, Canopus56 <canopus56@yahoo.com> wrote:
Mars was bright and directly at the zenith and 2 magnitudes brighter than Spica. (Mars was not positioned for binocular observing.)
