Rotarion of Mars was created by mjs
I got some images of Mars last night but none were great. Passing cloud and poor seeing leaving only poor images. I did however salvage something by making an animation of the planet's rotation ove a couple of hours.




Further clouds preventes any extension of the secquence. Syrtis Major can be seen just rolling into view.

Michael - that's spot on! It'd be great if you got better conditions and sharper surface markings. Sounds like a challenge....
