Hi Paul -

Fine detail - especially on the second one. I just came in from a long look at this region - what a treat to have an exciting solar show back again.

Hi MIke -

Very nice result - it is very hard to coax subtle details from the Martian surface unless the air is very still - you did a fine job.

Hi Richard -

Another fantastic image - did mars jump a dozen million mile closer overnight? 8O
Today's images are incredible.

Thanks for sharing the beautiful work -

Hi Roland -

A fine start - and we have more than a month to get closer.
Did you take unfiltered images for luminance?
