I got up semi-early last weekend (5:30 AM) to take a look at Mars through my 18". The atmosphere wasn't great, but I was able to easily see the southern polar...
Actually, the first 11" f/4.3 mirror we got from Carl was to buld a prototype of a travel scope. However, there didn't seem to be much interest in that...
