Haven't had much oportunity time or weather wise to get out to image Mars. This last Saturday night was clear but the seeing was below average.

Took one 120 second series, stacked 430 frames out of 1195, using 8" f5.9 Newtonian, TouCam 840, UV/IR cut filter, 4x Powermate bringing FL to f23.6. Captured using Registax 3, upsampled 1.5x, used wavelets and finished in Photoshop CS.

I noticed that the planet is starting to be a little less round and is that a volcano on the surface?

Olympus Mons is very obvious in your image. Nice job.
