I'm a convert!!! Earlier I thought eyepiece projection was the way to make
videos of Mars. Well, last night I had such a great time with a 2X Barlow
that I am convinced this really is the way. Shooting from SLC didn't help,
but between about midnight and 1 a.m. the air steadied and I got some very
nice shots. The Barlow made it almost easy. Lacus Solis, the "Eye of Mars"
was extremely clear, and other marks showed up. Of course the ice cap was
the most prominent feature. Best wishes, Joe
