Thank you wolf, very kind, and I won't deny that I have some small amount of photography skill. But it says more about the availability of cheap but relatively high-quality telescopes and cameras than it does about my capabilities, since I'm just starting out.
And yes, definitely everybody should make some effort to see Mars. It's visible in the predawn sky now, and will be rising at midnight by the start of July I think. Near the end of August it will be closer to us than it has been in the last 60,000 years. Very historic.
