The camera used was a ToUCam pro. I'm not sure about that bluish feature south of Syrtis major. It might be an artifact or perhaps some of the bluish clouds that often show up near the limb of the planet. -------------------- Kyle Edwards Solar System Imaging Simulator My Astrophotography Gallery Post Extras:       tjensen Carpal Tunnel Reged: 02/16/05 Posts: 1588 Loc: Chapel Hill, NC Re: Mars on November 6th [Re: KyleEdwards]       #3435021 - 11/07/09 05:08 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Great shot!
