Details:
A beautiful spring day in Upstate New York carried over into a clear night with seeing of about 5, “Fair” on the Pickering Scale, or as we call it in New York, “Rare and Excellently-Fantabulous Seeing”. Shortly after midnight Mars was positioned nicely in the southern sky at an elevation of about 40 degrees. I fussed a bit with the Canon A710is white-balance settings hoping to bring out as much contrast as possible but only a few surface features are visible. Also, it appears that I managed to image Mars when the most noticeable Martian feature, Syrtis Major, was nowhere to be found.
