I had a look on the 13/12/2007 from around 10pm until 12:30am. There were only a few moments of steady seeing and cloud was in the way for about half of the time.
I find the part of Mars facing us as it culminates at the moment quite bland. The features are too subtle for me to see unless the seeing is exceptionally good.
For a few moments at 200x I was able to see Mare Siremun quite clearly and just make out the North polar hood. Looking forward to some more interesting parts rolling into view over the coming weeks.
Have fun,
Doug
