Quicktime or Windows Media Player to run)
Notice how the planet moves in an out of focus and the detail changes as the
atmospheric "seeing" changes. This is due to the constant variations
in turbulence of the Earth's atmosphere. The "seeing" is normally not
very good here in upstate NY, approx 30 miles south of Lake Ontario.
These images of Mars are about as good as it gets here in Geneseo. You
can see the polar region (white) and a good amount of detail on the planet
surface. Enjoy !
