"Mars Near M35"

Today's featured report takes us into some double star observing as well as a magnificent sketch of the close approach of Mars to the open lcuster M35 - by John Baars using his 102 mm f/5 scope. With the departure of Orion from the scene he observed Algieba in Leo as well as Izar in Bootes, and then observed and sketched Mars and M35. While the disk of Mars was small it was a nicely framed view. Congratulations John on both the observations and sketches - well worthy of the VROD for today!
