About this image
Well this is getting to the end of my Mars season. The best one for me - images have been so much better than anything I've managed before. Nowhere near as good as many others but very satisfying none-the-less. Better seeing earlier in the season but the Jetstream ruined the end of it with exceptionally bad seeing. Enjoyed submitting my images to the Mars section, reading Richard McKim's excellent Mars blog and comparing my observations with those from around the world.

I tried too but can't match your fine series. 3/4 inch in aperture made the difference? Sadly not! Well done.
