Finally got round to processing the images I got on Mars on the 21st.
Celestron CPC1100, 2x Powermate, Astronomik type 2c colour seperation & Planet Pro 742 infra-red pass filters, Imaging Source DMK21 camera. Transparency good, seeing moderate. Temp -3C, wind SE force 2.
Note the white clouds on the sunlit limb, these mark the positions of Olympus Mons (nearest the disk centre) & the other volcanic mountains in the Tharsis region. Central image is simulation from Mars Previewer II.
