Thanks Andrew, I'll have a go with more sharpening, but sometimes it seems to distort the edge and ice cap even though it improves the darker features. Maybe what it needs is to somehow combine 2 images- one with the sharper edge and then somehow overlay the darker features over the top!
You're probably right, the ice could be on the other side. I guess with the similar rotation times, if you film at the same time each morning you'd be getting the same side again. Only way would be to vary the time a bit or wait for a few weeks.
That Mars pic in your link is incredible. The best planet pics I've seen all seem to be coming from C14's, 11's and 9.25's and I realize I won't be able to get that with my equipment. But they do cost more too so they'd want to be better.
If we're looking at the other side with no ice there's really nothing you can do about it, just hope it comes back. Probably depends on what season it is on Mars at the time of opposition.
