Hey cool,
First Mars of the year. Mars will get significantly bigger throughout the year. Currently it's only 4.3 arc mins. In November when it is close to opposition it wll be 19.6 arc mins (5x bigger). Then your photos should pick up some detail..
Unfortunately, it will be low in the northern sky (32° here), so will suffer from the same problems we are having with Saturn at the moment...
