Hi all, just captured this with my webcam, 3X, C9.25". Is the center dark spot feature a dust speck on my CCD or a real Martian feature? Thanks very much, Ivan

Looks like the feature known as Solis lacus (sp?) to me... nice work! smile I think you have a lot of detail that could come out with more processing in Photoshop though... Keep it up!

That's Solus Lacus, the "Eye of Mars". Great job!
