I spent most of the night observing here and there between cloud banks. I got around 90 minutes in. I was able to see Mars, but without any detail. I tried to use some filters without success. I'll need to do some more research into using them the right way. A cloud bank came in for about an hour. I went back out and was able to find the three main open clusters in Auriga, M36, M37 and M38.

Focused on Orion. Viewed area around M42. View very good through 10mm Plossl. Also viewed area around Barnard's Loop. Good view of Meissa through 25mm Plossl. Observed Rigel and Betelgeuse. Mars looks great through the 10mm. Looking forward to seeing close approach on the 18th.
