I took this photo of Mars in March 17, 2010 from my backyard in Vallejo, CA.  The polar ice caps are visible along with some nice details of the surface, thanks to a clear and calm night.  Didn't use any filters.

Meade LX200 10" Classic, Meade DSI and Meade 2X Telextender.  183 frames at 0.07 seconds per frame, stacked with Meade Autostar Suite.
