Description

Back in Strasbourg after eight months in Canberra, I am again using my small (5", 127 mm diameter) Maksutov-Cassegrain to image Mars. This is the first attempt since I got back. The seeing was very steady so some details emerged despite the small aperture, and the low altitude. I am also three floors up on a shaky wooden floor.

As others have found, the details of the surface of Mars revealed by the receding dust seem quite different from the established maps.
