Observations by Month: September
Visual observations at 176X to 292X with TV Bandmate A & B filters.
As September comes to a close and we get into Autumn with it's usual unsettled weather, the observer has to contend with decreased transparency in addition to the persistant dust in Mars' atmosphere, making the use of filters necessary in order to discern much detail in the albedo features. I find myself using mostly the TeleVue Bandmate A & B filters in addition to the #21 for visual observing. The dust veil continues to obscure finer detail although white clouds are occasionally seen or suspected especially in the Tharsis-Solis Lacus regions.
