Hi all,

As Mars gets larger, it's getting easier to image detail. I remember when 10" was considered the amateur Mars' imager starting point. Looking at some of the images I have seen so far, I think much smaller is the starting point. Notice the notched SPC in the red image. All shot with the Toucam.

Hi Paul,

A bit more detail in the b&w image, eh? Both look great! Nice work!
