"First Light for a Mak"

Today's featured report being highlighted dates back to October 1, 2020 when many of us were preparing for Mars at opposition. As a result the red planet was getting closer and closer to earth. Star Dad was able to borrow a 7" Mak-Cassegrain f/15 scope from his club and enjoy views of the crater Tycho on the moon followed up by Martian observations including both polar caps and some central darkening against the orange background. Also noticed was the fine focus of the instrument. This report certainly brings back good memories of the opposition for many of us. Congratulations Star Dad on winning the VROD for the day.
