Mars October 18, 2020
Mars 2020-10-18 (UT) Humidity is high on a clear night after a long absence. After midnight, seeing improved a little and we could see around 0 degrees longitude on the surface of Mars. The SPC is small. Infrared images have higher resolutions and fine structures can be seen. Mist and clouds can be seen in the UV image at dawn (right) and in the evening. A meandering pale cloud can be seen in the center.

The Hoshinomura Starlight Festival in Fukushima
We participated in the Hoshinomura Starlight Festival in Fukushima. I was worried about the heavy rain caused by typhoon No. 14, but in the tent It was nice to be able to hold it! Get the iron meteorite and experience the patterning of the cut surface of the iron meteorite. Also I met Mr. Toyama, an engineer of equatorial mount drive design, and got a lot of astronomical information! Thank you, Mr. Ohno and Toyama.

Mars Observation Party October 6, 2020
Mars Observation Party 2020-10-06 This time Mars becomes an opposition (the sun, the earth, and Mars are on a straight line), and the size is bright and large at 22.5 arcseconds. Local star friends gather and hold a viewing party on Mars. Mars was visible from the cloudy sky, and it was a clear night at 10 pm, and I was able to enjoy Mars as we are using with the 45 cm newtonian and C14. Seeing is also good, and a pale Martian pattern is confirmed at 450 x with a 45 cm + binocular device. At the end, we were thrilled to be able to remove Mars from the field of view of the eyepiece and check the satellite Deimos firmly! The satellite Phobos was too close to Mars to see.
