Comments: This is Mars observed using my homemade 8″ f5.9 dob and Baader Hyperion 5mm, I had a pretty good seeing that evening. After scanning the picture, color balance was adjusted in Photoshop to better resemble observable Martian palette. The image to the right was generated by Stellarium for comparison.
Marcin,
Always a pleasure to see a Mars sketch as nice as this one.
