Description

Taken near last opposition, this is a 2 hour long 5 frame animation of the Hellas region clearly visible rotating. Mars also has a nice polar cap on its north pole as well. 
I was mainly just trying to get some decent mars frames and realized i actually captured rotation, and each frame was crisp so i made this gif!
