Also took a look at Mars. Tried to figure some of the albedo features, do put me right if I got any wrong!

Telescopic view, Mars is centred on a black background appearing as a large disc. The north pole is bright white, surrounded by a dark area (Mare Boreum). The north east limb of the disk also appears hazy with a dark area jutting out (Propontis). The main face of the planet is rather featureless consisting of a blank orangey area which is Amazonis Planitia, Arcadia Planitia and surrounding regions. The southern cap appears to also have a slight white-ish haze too. North of the south pole haze is a long dark wavy horizontal area - Mare Sirenum.
Same image as the first one, but with labels pointing to the features mentioned

@elaterite Much appreciated, thank you! First time I've had a chance this season to get Jupiter in my sights, so I was happy about that
