It should be interesting (if Scotland's skies stay clear for a change), but I doubt I'll be able to photograph anything more than a small dot. The above moon image is full frame on my Canon 10D with 400mm lens and 2x adapter which gives a 35mm film equivalent of 1280mm. Now the moon is somewhere around 44 minutes of arc if memory serves, so Mars would be 100 times smaller (or about 15 pixels across). Still worth a shot, and even a bright red dot in a suitable sky scape should look interesting. -- Mark
