Mars Magnification
Ok..so I took a toilet paper roll and looked at the waning crescent moon
this morning at 4:30 local time. I could see enough earth shine to complete the disc...there is NO WAY Mars comes even close at 120 X's magnification to being a comparable angular diameter in the EP....the math says yes..my eyes say NO! Go figure...
