Thanks lester, it really is amazing what can be detected on Mars with amateur equipment. These images are not very good, because of the very poor seeing, but they still reveal some reasonable detail.
I just noticed that I didn't put in the ID line for Mare Tyrrhenum, maybe that may prompt a few to look at a chart and track down its position in the image.

Hopefully I'll get a chance over the next few weeks while on hols...

Thanks Matt, Mars is close to its largest diameter for this apparition and achieves its highest altitude above the horizon by about 3 am CSST in the morning, that is at the moment.
We all just need some cooperation with the seeing to snaffle some descent images, good luck with that.
Regards
