Amazing photo for an earth-orbiting satellite, but we've been spoiled bigtime by closeup shots of the red planet.

Dusted off the 25 year old equatorial mounted 6" reflector the other night and finally gave Mars a look (monsoon weather has hampered viewing) A very good sighting, much better than back in 83 when it was real good. Didn't plug in the drive, which I've never been able to counterbalance to be correct.

Saw good S. cap detail, and a suprising amount of black detail across the disc. Gotta do some more viewing, just wish I had a much more compact design.

Great work.

Great use of technology in an unintended application.

I see Syrtis Major in the first image.
At first I couldn't recogize the pattern, because the image is erect. We're so used to the inverted image.

excellent resolution and sharpness.

Just curious...was anybody able to get a glimpse of Mars with the naked eye? I stared at the night skies in NY from 8/26 until the weekend and gave up. Probably too cloudy.
