Collection notes
The eyepiece at a hilltop star party.
A rust-red desert marking makes one side of the disc look heavier. The observer’s dim red lamp just catches the edge of a cream chart beside the scope.
For a planetary observing card, put Star Chart Buff star labels on Opposition Sky and pick out Mars in Mars Bead.
