Description
A second morning of fairly good seeing. It turns out the root of my motor focus problems was the serial cable connecting it to the controller. A new one was supposed to arrive a couple days ago, but the envelope was empty because it was improperly sealed!
Methane-band imaging was cut short by clouds and prevented Mars from being imaged.
