[Freddie]

Took this one Saturday morning

and this is what CdC shows it should look like

Very good to get that detail from something so small.

Nice detail Freddie

[David Smith]

Nice image. Just been out for a look visually but seeing is terrible here - could just about make out the polar cap!

You got some good detail there!

What's that program you used for the summary?

[Kokatha man]

That 2nd image is very good Freddy..!

Nice effort though with your shot:icon_salut:.....atm with such a small disk I think we need really decent seeing to grab anything reasonably well-detailed.

Mars is certainly a challenging target, well done, nice details

[Freddie]

Thanks for all your comments.

King, the graphic is from Carte Du Ciel. This is a star map but also shows these details of planets etc. It's free to download. Worth having a look.

Wonderful image. I love seeing the red planets. Jupiter and Saturn (I think that was in the sky last year), are/were fun to see. To a beginning stargazer there is nothing like saying, "Look there's Mars!" But it must be so nice to see it through a telescope, rather than with the naked eye. Wonderful pic.

Thanks for your comments Wainscottbl. Have a look at the images posted by Frewi808 (Freddy) and Arbacia (Paticio) though and I'm sure you will agree that they now set the gold standard for Mars images.
