Cloud on Mars?

My image below shows a circular feature paralleling the right (evening) limb of Mars from last night (about 3:30 UT). It looks like a processing artifact, but I could see it on my laptop screen while I was taking the image. I suppose it could be an internal reflection in my telescope, but it only appears in that one part of Mars. Did anyone else photograph Mars last night and see (or didn't see) this?
