Mars - Central Meridian calculator ??

[DarkerSky]

I'm looking for a table or piece of software / freeware than can tell me the Mars CM for the 2009/2010 apparition. Could anyone point me in the right direction for getting my hands on such a thing.?? I used to get the BAA handbook for calculating the CM, but no longer a member

Any help on this would be appreciated

Try the Mars Profiler on the Sky and Telescope website. It should give you the information that you need.

or there is mars previewer II, it shows you a picture of mars for any given time, it is very acurate. i used it last tuesday and my sketch was spot on to the priview.
