On Tuesday I was able to capture most of the missing and weak part of Mars in my last rotatation image. I also unraveled the globe to make a Mars map. I used Sky and Telescope as a reference for the visible features. Photobucket is hosting the animated GIF. They shrunk the file down to below 1mb making it somewhat small.
