 Quoting Covington from 'Astrophotography for the Amateur' (second edition, 
page 108)... "Mars is, in my opinion, somewhat neglected as an [film] 
astrophotographic target; it is in fact the easiest planet on which to 
photograph detail because of the relatively high contrast of the surface 
features... "

 If I get the conditions I hope for in the Keys... I'll give your web-cam 
images a run for the money with my beloved film... ultimately, CCD has the 
big edge in planetary imaging... right ?!?

 Best...   :O)
