Light Cup noted Mars Rover - really?

My NP127 Light Cup and I have been in the deepest depth of despair from the fog we've been having which seemed never ending :-(. After much sacrifices, incense burning and prayers from my Light Cup, the Mars goddess of
war finally lifted the curse of fog for 10 solid nights/morning from the west coast and bless my Light Cup with good steady seeing ;-).

The dust "strip" can be seen pretty easily in the image and I also checked it visually with a #23A filter. As indicated in my image, I supposed the Mars Rover escaped the dust storm?

Surprisingly, the SPC though obvious in the image, was extremely difficult to make out visually at 200x and 264x with no filter, #38, #80A and Baader Moon & Skyglow filter. I caught glimpses with the #80A and Baader Moon & Skyglow filter and I could not say with 100% certainty that I saw it visually :-(.

But what's this thing in Sinus Meridiani (also known as the Dawe's Fork Bay) which appeared to shimmer? Could it be one of the Mars Rover trying to crawl away from the nearby dust storm? Afterward, I scrutinized the image from my NP127 Light Cup, applied various imaging processing algorithm, networked all of my 4 Pentium 4 4-inch ;-) tower PCs together to crunch on the numerical methods in order to achieve 800% enlargement from already a very large image at f/52 for
the Light Cup (not how well the image stood up)! And viola, what da ya know; that seemed to look like Opportunity Rover ;-) ;-) ;-) [rolled eyes ;-)].

As I was unmounting the NP127 Light Cup from my SP mount, my head hit its focuser (whack). I quickly realized I had awoken and clearing my vision from the dust fume in the house ;-).

I was out last night with the 10" ZOC planetary Dob on the EQ Platform checking out Mars as well as other objects.
I did manage to see the Dust storm as a brighter area as shown in your picture.
Seeing got fairly good about 10:30pm and better as the night progressed until the dew started and we gave it up. One thing I noticed was that as Mars rotated and the angle of illumination changed, the features seemed to fade, until they were maybe half as dark and contrast was lost. The planet itself got quite bright, and I began to wonder if the dust in the atmosphere was becoming more appearance. The dust storm had moved to the center of the planet by that time. Did anyone else see this?
The 10" gave just as good of details as any other scope we had there including a 15" Dob. The Platform made Mars observing really relaxing.

Well, it looked like the dark side of the imaging force was indeed
giving my Light Cup a vision through the Force the night before ;-). It
appears the dust storm has now moved where the Opportunity Mars Rover is now
situated! Here's the image - courtesy of my trust old 4-inch tall TV-102 Light
Cup ;-).
