If you want something that more matches the view of features through a small-medium scope I've found this image produced by Ron Bee (via mars observers yahoo web-site) to be quite useful,
enjoy
Hi Ian, I find this site CalSKY (http://www.calsky.com/cs.cgi?) very good.

Thanks Guys
They are all helpfull!
We had our Mars night last night, it went well with every one having a good look at Mars.
With the 11 day old Moon out, there was more interest in the Moon though !
Never under estimate the crowd pleasing power of high Magnification views of the moon !
I will have to make a mental note to hold more of our public viewing nights when the moon is in the sky at anything less than full phase !
I will bring out these Mars maps at our next club night, & see if I can get some interest in sketching Mars.
