Hi Lou,

Don't have a scantron reader, our school has a contract with the company so
when one goes bad, they replace it free 'cause we have to buy their scantrons!

As for Mars, my husband and I saw it beautifully in the mountains around
10:30 pm last weekend and saw it last night from the "flatlands" around 10 pm. I
was in Chicago two weekends ago and saw it beautifully low in the south-eastern
sky around 9 pm.

Hope you get to see it ... it is awesome. My husband and I are pretty sure we
saw the southern polar ice cap from the mountains using our telescope ... of
course the ice cap was at the one o'clock position but since telescopes
reverse images, we are pretty sure we saw the southern ice cap.

Good hunting and happy viewing,
Sue Pritchard
