Mars reaches opposition next month, on the 14th, when it will be 22.3" dia. The largest apparent size for us until 2035 so make the most of any chance you get to observe or image the planet. Also the next 4 oppositions Mars will be further north in our skies, so lower down as well as being smaller in diameter.
