Ya, mars is fantastic looking right now. It is close enough that I can make out the two poles after looking for a while. You have to let your eyes get used to the light. Also, there are many globular clusters visible this time of year that look amazing. For those of you who dont know, a globular cluster is a cluster of stars that was most likely born 10-12 billion years ago, so you really are looking deep into the past.
