Cheers Bill, no-one was more supprised than me - and I'm sure there
have been better images taken from the UK but had not been entered. I
know because I've seen some of them. Amazingly, that was one of the
very first Mars images taken using the 12" Orion back in August, and I
never got any decent seeing after it!

Just watched the prog myself.
Top marks Chris. As the man said [paraphrasing=on] we live in a country
adversely affected by it's location![off]
Maybe we should vote in a government that will fit engines to the UK and
ship us all further south for better climate and better latitude! g

What kind of camera/processing did you use?

Paul Jennings wrote an article on that theme entitled "The Unthinkable
Aircraft Carrier". Quite apart from the climatic benefits, the UK
ensures world peace because if anyone misbehaves, the order "full speed
ahead" will send tidal waves to drown our foes :-)
