Mars on March 27th

Was anyone else observing Mars last night? In the past I've had to really concentrate on what I was seeing, do two or maybe three sketches to test myself. I do the finished drawing when the sketches all look about the same. But last night I took a look and BAM! There was everything right there. The usual 10 or 15 minutes to get enough info for a finished drawing was more like a minute and change. The features along the top and through the middle were the darkest I'd ever seen - by a lot. It was the very first time I had no question as to what exactly I was drawing.
