Snap shots Venus Mars

I know these are not the best pics ever taken but are interesting.
Was on the morning about the 18th June my son had to start work early had to catch the 6-40 am train, I went out side to warm the car up and the sky was clear, ( believe it, or not, East side of Melbourne ) that’s when I rush back in and just grabbed the camera and using the car roof as a tripod started snapping away at Venus and Mars,
For how they were taken I do not think they are too bad.
Single shots with a Canon 450d at full zoom ( EF-S 55-250mm lens ) manual focus, 0.6 expo time at 5.6,
When enlarged a bit looks like a pimple on Mars, think I got some features, but not sure, like to know what part of Mars is the pimple or what I was seeing. Now waiting for a another clear morning so I can set the scope up at about 5am ready for them to rise. Still was fun
