Mars Dust Storm?

Hey, everyone...
I was out early this morning to try imaging Mars. There was a brighter than average spot near the limb...a dust storm? Or just brighter terrain? The result of the photography is attached, and you can see the spot. I also got a photo of Venus, at the same magnification. It is posted on my own reply. Thanks for looking, comments are welcome!

Here is a composite showing relative apparent size! Venus is roughly twice the size of Mars, and is about three times closer right now. Hence it appears about six times bigger.

thanks
