In 2001 the Martian dust storms made it difficult to see the features on the surface. 2003 was the best I have ever seen. This year Mars is further north but it should be good viewing baring dust storms, it will have a disk of 19.95"at a mag of -2.3 on the 7th of November. Mars is an interesting object to watch grow and change in the months leading up to and past opposition don't give up on Mars just yet. Here is a single photo of the 2003 opposition I took, very much what it looked like through the EP.
