Mars Double

I took this picture of Mars up at The Birches in the Adirondack mountains while the moon was still below the horizon. It was exposed for about 1/2". The image on the left has been greatly enlarged (so that you can see the actual pixels the camera captured). The brightness was also slightly increased. The image on the right was scaled up to the same size, but bilinear interpolation was used to smooth out the image (so the chunky pixels are less distracting). The picture was taken level to the ground, facing southwest while Mars was fairly low in the sky. So if I know my planetary astronomy (which I don't), that means Mars's north pole should be pretty much at the top and slightly to the right of the disk in this image. That suggests to me that the grey blobs at the top and bottom are Mars's polar ice caps. Pretty nifty, eh?
