Here is my 135th and final session of Mars images for the 2005/6 apparition. 
Its been a fantastic and productive apparition for me and one that i will 
look back on with many good memories, with many nights of good conditions.
 
This last session at Barbados under excellent seeing nicely shows the Sinus 
Meridiani hemisphere and Syrtis major.
