Thanks for that Clinton. They're looking for visual and AP, so we can all have a go.

It might be clear for me on Friday Night, I'll see what I can do.

Have you got plans to give it a go?

No, sadly not.
With my 8inch scope they are nothing more than a tiny blue dot, definitely cannot see any features etc.
Good luck with your attempt, let us know how it went.

If they want surface details, then that rules out most of us!

Definitely requires a telescope larger than mine, I guess we will have to pass it onto the crowd with 300 mm+ telescopes.
