Mike, This is Stan Grove in Anchorage, mostly a "lurker" in the group so far. I was just curious, what equipment are you using for the Mars observations? Mike...

I was using a pair of 8mm TMB supermonocentric in a binoviewer on a TEC160 f/8 ED refractor. Image scale is pretty generous! I am excited that Mars is going...

They do share the majority of the same trench. I'm not going to fret too much about noise from the observatory feeder since it will carry so little power and...
It will be inevitable that unless the power line is twisted that one of the current carrying conductors will be closer to the data lines than the other. But...
