Hi Paul, I see you're capturing even more detail now that we're approaching the 100 million mile mark in our age old race with Mars.
The "red planet" is exactly four months away from its (Christmas Eve) opposition date. This should be the best apparition for many years to come.
Thanks for keeping us up to date with your current images, we appreciate it. Cheers, Dan grin

Very nice detail Paul! Is the dust storm dissapating finally?
