I observed Mars last night for the first time through my brand new 8" Skywatcher Dob. Similar views to those below through the 6mm EP (200x). I saw the ice cap but there was little contrast between the cap and the rest of the planet - the image was incredibly bright - perhaps a filter would improve contrast and increase my chances of seeing some more detail? There was a breeze and I was observing through the glow of the railway station across the road.
