Mars is closer than ever!

[Jay95R33]

I tried using a friends telescope the other night to have a look at it, but couldn't get the damn thing focused correctly. Cheap crap

I heard onthe TV that you should be able to see the polar caps on Mars just using 70x bionoculars !!!

Hopefully we'll have at least one clear night this week so I can give that crappy telescope another try...

Well seeing as the cloud cover seems pretty clear and i don't have much to do ... i'm gonna take the 'beast' (um, Falcon.. ) up to skyhigh tonight around 8-9pm and see what i can see..

Its meant to be the closest point tonight apparently.

Let me know if anybody wants to tag along.

p.s. Mars is the god of war so we have to declare war on something tonight as well (its in the rules)

hey look maw.. a planet...

i hope people that went to the observatory got a better view , because i didnt see shizzay except for a really bright star , which in fact was suppose to be Mars although i didnt see it that much bigger then other nights

Weather was really too cloudy in melbourne to see anything. I went up to have a look, but ended up just being a decent drive and view of the city as I saw nothing.

I saw it clear as day last night, very impressive...

[Leewah]

I managed to see it before the clouds came over. I saw it at about 7:30 and then again about 10:00. Can't say it was very impressive.

Kinda looked like a really bright star with a reddish tinge.

Just glad I didn't miss it coz I couldn't be farked waiting another 280 years to see it again.

[SmoothLine]

It is so impressive, compared to all the other stars, well I thought so anyway, lol

[sniffy]

pfft...i mean its good and all, but i would only want to no that stuff to impress chicks..."see that red star up there? thats mars and its as close as its been, blah blah blah" then i would say something that would get this post deleted...so i wont

i think its time for this tool be be banned for good!!

Mars should be quite easily spotted. Australia apparently has the best view. Anyway if you look up in the sky, you should see a orange/red bright star looking object. Thats mars. Stars(which is like our sun) twinkles and blinks whereas planets don't. Time to take my dusty telescope out of the closet
