All Good Things Must End

Hello Everyone,
I have had the time of my life the past several days following imaging and observing Mars during the
outbreak and expansion of the dust storm. It's what Amateur Astronomy is all about and I have felt like
the Amateur Astronomer I always wanted to be. Great Fun! But, alas, it is cloudy and the rains begin tonight. I expect to be clouded out for several/many nights. Good luck to all of you with clear skies. Here's wishing your clear and steady skies!
I will upload (if it's not too big) a mosaic of Mars images I have made over the past several days beginning with October 14th when there was no evidence of the impending storm.

All the Best,

Jim Phillips

P.S. I'll be back!

Thanks for sharing.

Great series. I had trouble spotting the dust storm on my own shots until I realized that some of the ligther features were not supposed to be there. Thanks.
