Took a peak at Mars this morning 4:00 AM with my C-102F APO. I've seen a large rectangular shape dark shading on the surface but no dust storm!

No snow caps can be seen either!

Switched to my 8" SCT, it was worst, seems the SCT don't have the contrast as the APO have. Shadings on Mars was very light, barely noticeable.

Any one seen the dust storm?

Should I use a filter and what kind?
