First Light ... Mars

First light for this new telescope. Got the telescope set-up, ready to go. Clouds come in :( wait. Sky conditions... not good, like looking through pea soup. Shooting through tree leaves. Mars is very small, 7 arch-seconds across. Jupiter would be 7 times as big with the same setup.
