Uhmm Roger,
you are so encouraging... :-)
Thanks for telling me... quite sobering. I see I could
take some other pictures, but a "straight" nice
picture of Mars alone is absolutely out of the
question.
And I am in a city (Zurich) which is way too bright at
night. I would definitely need to go somewhere into
the mountains or in the countryside where it is dark
at night.
Thanks very much for your mail!
Thomas
