...According to JPL the diameters are : Deimos 12.2 km; Phobos 22.2 km
If you can pick up thoose puppies in your 127 mm your doing pretty good. I'll give you my Pronto, FS 102 and CN 212 for that baby. daysleeper wrote: Hi! Last night (23.8.2003, 1.15 UT) I observed Mars with my 114mm newt at 180x. Seeing was good, I was able to see plenty of details. There was Mare Erythraeum in the centar of disc, Solis Lacus on eastern (following) limb and Sinus Meridiani on western limb. In a few moments of complete steadiness, I glimpsed a little "star", about 2 diameters eastern of Mars, in the equatorial plane. Could this be one of the satellites of Mars? Are they even observable with 114mm (4.5")? Is there a web site that shows positions of moons in particular time? Thank you for any help... -- ---------- |
