Hi,

I uploaded yet another sketch of Mars. Seeing was very good and I used some different filter settings which slightly changed the kind of details viewed. The upshot of this is not only to "break" the darker features, but also the lighter ones as well.

Happt holiday to all.

Sol,

An excellent observation of Mars. Notice the light shading of Mare Tyrrhenum (to the left (following) limb) obscured by dust. Mare Cimmerium is also obscured in places. Dust is also noted over Electris and Eridania to the south below the South Polar Cap (SPC). We need to monitor these, and other possible, storms for any extension in the future. Please keep up the good work.
