Has anyone been able to see or image the Martian moons?

Early this morning (1:10 to 1:40 am CDT) I saw Phobos with my 8 inch refractor. I used 270x with an occulting bar. I could still see it when only half of Mars was obscured by the bar, but could not see it when Mars was in full view. I used the same equipment to view Phobos during the 1988 opposition. I did not look for Deimos this morning since it was not well placed.
