Paul, that's a very good image!

I hope you don't mind, but I have made some colour balance and levels/curves and unsharp mask adjustments to you image to see what details are hidden in there, here's how it turned out. Let me know what you think.

There are many surface features visible in your image, Olympus Mons is clearly seen to the lower right as well as several other regions. I'm no expert on mars but I'm sure someone here could name a handful of these features off the top of their head :-)

regards, Anthony
