About this image

Mars from the good conditions on the 25th. Just 4.8" but still lots on show! A classic view with Syrtis Major and Sinus Sabaeus at the top and some evening cloud over Hellas.

Truly remarkable given its tiny size!

Thanks Jim. It will be the twilight that will make it really difficult as it shrinks more. Harder to find and more and more affected by the shot noise in the wash of bright skylight.
