Mars is now a bit larger than 8" in diameter, so it's not too early to begin
looking at it. In poor seeing at 3:30 this morning, I took this image with the
Tuocam webcam through a 10" f/5.5 and 2.5x Barlow. This results in an image
scale of 0.33" per pixel (not enough!). It is a stack of the best 800 out of
1000 video frames taken at 10 fps. After some work in Registax, the image was
scaled up in Photoshop.
Syrtis Major and the Hellas Basin are visible. The polar cap is extremely
small these days, and eluded this image.
