This is my first decent Mars image! Pretty happy with it, and I will apply what I have learned to future Mars images that I expect to capture as opposition approaches over the coming weeks.
Identifiable surface features include northern polar cap, Syrtis Major, Mare Tyrrhenum, Hellas, Sinus Sabeaus, and Pandorae Fretum.
