Good images, both of you!

I still have some work to do, but getting there... hopefully before Mars retreats to its far distance!

Raoul, were you using a filter when you took the webcam image?

And are you sure, Delbert, that the circular whats-it isn't something like this:

The storm burst upon us six years ago now. As Mars approached opposition, Lavelle of Java set the wires of the astronomical exchange palpitating with the amazing intelligence of a huge outbreak of incandescent gas upon the planet. It had occurred towards midnight of the twelfth; and the spectroscope, to which he had at once resorted, indicated a mass of flaming gas, chiefly hydrogen, moving with an enormous velocity towards this earth. This jet of fire had become invisible about a quarter past twelve. He compared it to a colossal puff of flame suddenly and violently squirted out of the planet, "as flaming gases rushed out of a gun." http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/www/warworlds/warw.html
