The entire face & video of Mars in 2018 by D.Peach
Here is a map of the entire Martian surface from the period following opposition. 
Produced from images taken by myself using the 1m telescope in Chile and kindly compiled into a map by Sebastian Voltmer this view from the period following opposition shows the Martian surface having become clearer from the global dust storm that had been raging in previous weeks. 
Some active dust plumes are still visible on the surface in the map. All of the familiar major features can be seen. The south polar cap is a bottom.


We also produced a video comparing the changing dust patterns across the surface between images 
taken by ourselves across the period (from Chile and Namibia.) The animation can be seen here:
