Eh,... Seanie, I think you'll find it's only half as long as you think!

Perhap because light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

and heres mars again, almost exactly 2 days later.
And just when I thought the weather couldnt get any stranger...
The wind was blowing something fierce, so the image was all over the place, I wasnt able to focus it as there were tiny gaps in the clouds, but you can see a resemblance to the above image.
Practically a gale force wind outside. :shock: [/url]
I'm still waiting for what I'd call a normal good night.
what happened to our supposedly cold winter?

The seeing has slightly improved.
See how the planet has rotated compared to the previous image.
The clouds have slowed down abit. :lol:
I thing I'm flogging a dead horse tonight with this weather.
