Stunning! Anyone want to hazard a guess at the magnification used?  I can't see it in the spec.

Wow, suddenly the moon doesnt seem that far away at all

 

(although now i realize the moon is actually between earth and mars at this point, and just off to the left ....perspective can be confusing lol)

It's little wonder the Martians looked longingly at the Earth! ???
