Qualified - 5 points

1) Focus/Sharpness - Focus was accurate, seeing conditions robbed you of some detail
2) Composition - Fine
3) Planetary detail - Above average for this target, and really really good for this camera - not at all bad given mars' current apparent diameter. The only thing you need to "do" differently is catch one of those rare nights of perfect seeing ;-)
4) Processing Skills - Good
5) Exposure/Depth - Good
6) Technical Bonus -
