Mars was at a favourable opposition at the end of July 2018. Here are my best attempts at imaging the red planet using a 5-inch Televue refractor. My images are out-classed by those produced using large reflectors, but I am still pleased with the amount of detail captured using such a small telescope. My impressions are that the dust storm gradually abated and the clarity of surface features improved during July.
