Hi all,
My first chance to image in a while.
Conditions were good for this session, allowing for this image before Mars finally drops into the sunset. Some clouds are seen near the morning limb over Eden and a small rift is present in the dark ring around the very small North Polar Cap. Hellas is covered in a bright haze.

Regards,
Wayne

That's better than most at opposition. For a target this small, that's simply remarkable! Great work.

Very good Wayne! You resolved the two small markings on either side of Boreosyrtis (Coloe Palus and Astapus Colles). That was hard enough to do 2 months ago let alone on June 21!
Pete.
