Using Sloan Digital Sky Survey to find Planets

[daveed]

I was wondering if anyone here had experience using the image dataset of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Specifically, I want to find images of Mars from within their data. However, because they take one picture of the sky a night, and at a very small section of the sky, it's hard to predict where Mars would be. Does anyone know if they keep references to planets at all in their survey, how I might find images containing Mars, or if what I want to do is at all possible?

What I really want to have is several extremely low-resolution pictures of Mars. If the SDSS is not the best resource, does anyone have suggestions for better sources?

Thank you!

Wouldn't SDSS try to avoid Mars when making their images?

That makes sense, I guess - they are taking rather long exposures, and Mars might just track across the image. In this case, does anyone have an idea of where I could look for such a dataset?
