Description

Some things need some times longer. For example this complete map of Mars. The images used for map were taken 2003 during opposition by Sebastian Voltmer, Bernd Gaehrken and me. Sebastian and Bernd made superb images in Namibia (Africa) with the C14, I tried my luck in Chile (S-America) with the AP Mak-Cass. However, we captured different regions of Mars. Using images from both, we were able to assemble the map. Thanks to Bernd and Sebastian for the excellent team work. Remember this great event in 2003 and enjoy...
