Like Stefan I tried yesterday at quite steady seeing on Mars.

I got more resolution than expected at only 10.3" of diameter, see details at:

Fantastic image Johannes.

You must have had really great seeing to get that one!

Derrick.

Johannes and Stefan,
Good work. I took my image a few hours earlier, and my seeing wasn't as good but I'm still happy to get this kind of detail, especially with just a 5" SCT. The Solis Lacus region is just barely visible here.
