BigJohn Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I had a wonderful night at the scope, last night. I finished it off with a long hard look at Mars. I could see the polar cap, and a little detail on the surface.The thin is I would really like to find a decent, not overly detailed map of Mars, so I have an idea what features I looking at. I feel that this would helper pick up more subtle features in future observations too. Even just knowing what side of the planet is facing me would be welcome. Anyone got any recommendations?

kenmyers Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 google earth possibly has mars as an option. It certainly has the moon... I remember hearing they were doing Mars. I dont use google earth but it is a safe bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
