About this image

Observed through the night on Saturday with the intention of imaging Mars before dawn. The seeing was very poor all night and with the 13.5'' diameter planet only being 14° above the horizon when I was observing, I didn't expect very much. Some surface markings can be seen though and a hint of the South Polar Cap. The monochrome image is in near infrared. Apologies for the different image scales, different cameras were used.
