ARGHHH - that`s too bad, Hannes.
Here in Basel we were lucky - the clear sky lasted until 3 or 4 o`Clock in the morning.
You have surely watched pictures and footage by now. There is a lot material out there which is truely beautiful.
That`s why I did not take any picture myself.
From our balcony we had a real first class pov almost from the beginning.
Very impressive. And Mars being almost at the closest point on its trajectory (it has been close for sometime now) was a real treat.
I have a little Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and have been watching the planets for sometime.
The nightsky this year has been good to us!
Venus is the first to be seen, then Jupiter with its 5-6 moons (I can spot),
along comes Saturn whith its rings angled so they can be seen completely around the planet and at last Mars.
A whole planetary show if you will.
CHeers, Klaus
