....but we won't see Mars as well as this again for a long time I think!

Last night at 23:45 (22:45 UT). 2000/10000 frames with a 180 Mak, ADC and AS1224 colour camera, barlowed to ca. f24. The seeing was less than average, with frequent wobbles and shimmering. By eye, Olympus Mons was very clear, and it is visible in the image as well. I couldn't see Sinus Gomer at all visually, but it has shown up in the image after processing (Autostakkert, PS). The poorer seeing than a couple of nights before has brought up the dark artefact on the W side of Mars.

I've pasted a Mars map from the BAA website for the same time next to the image.
