If you had a telescope to view it I think you would have been much more impressed. The view I got through my 8-inch newtonian with a 9mm eyepiece was increadible.

You can't see mars all the time ... it's lost in the suns glare for a large part of every year. A view like the one we just had doesn't happen very often.
