Lots of options here, from everyone...

Mars Previewer II seems to work just fine, so thanks. The
planetocentric declination of Earth is quoted as -12.2 degrees, that
means Mars' south pole is tilted toward Earth, and the ice cap should
be easily on view in my 8-inch Newt... unless it's summer in the
southern hemisphere of Mars... in which case, the ice cap will be
small. Anyone glimpsed the ice cap yet?

I'm told the summer solstice on Mars has just passed, but was that
summer in the *southern* hemisphere?
