Imaged Mars on Sat. night but only with my 6" newt so not as good a resolution as your images.

and yes nice that the dust storms didn't wreck opposition like it did in 2018  ... yes i'm still scarred |
Yeah that sucked! 2018 was a right off. Mars is so unpredictable. You prepare for extra close approach only to be dusted out.
