That looks just like what I saw in my telescope when I looked at it. The darker equatorial regions are barely visible in my 4.5" Newtonian, the polar cap is very prominent. It just dawned on me why photos show so many different equatorial regions. You can wait a few hours and Mars will be facing a completely different direction due to it's 24 hr. rotation.

WOW! :-)

I have been working 12h nights and have not had a chance to get a telescope out yet. :-(
