I have attached an outstanding image of Mars obtained by a well known optical designer friend of mine, Michael Palermiti. He obtained this image of Mars showing an impressive amount of detail (labelled) while the planet's apparent diameter was less than 7 arc-seconds! The 6-inch refractor (F/15) that he used was designed by him (a very impressive instrument for planetary observation and imaging).
I hope that you all enjoy it as I do. The best of luck on your own observations of Mars.
