Mars taken in August 2003 at its close approach to Earth. This image was published in Astronomy magazine in December 2003 and the January 2004 issues. Taken with my Pictor 416XTE ccd and 14 inch meade LX200 telescope.
This photograph of Mars surface was taken by Marty Neimi and myself from the Chagrin Valley Astronomical Society location in Huntsburg, Ohio. We were drinking Heineken beer that night.
