Hi, I was up for two hours waiting for the clouds to break when finally at 3:40 am they did. Wow, a bright pin point of pale blue light in the NPH was rotating into view, I managed to capture it even though seeing was only 3.5/10. The northeast limb of Mars might also be showing the start of a bright dust cloud, although this may be just a highly reflective albedo region. There was also lots of morning haze visible along the limb. Image acquisition (9:40-44 UT). Mars data; Dia.= 13.9", Dist.= .67 a.u., Mag= -1.0, Phase= 94%, CM= 330. I hope one of you guys can get a high resolution image of all this activity, we're socked in up here. Thanks for viewing, Dan
