mars before the rain

It seems that many locations have had poor seeing of late. Mine as well but the last five days of rain has given me nothing new to work on, so I've assembled an image from Oct 6th data that I might otherwise have abandoned for greener pastures. The cloud following Solis Lacus and bright limb haze were very
prominent on this morning, Nix Olympia a very subtle bump that might require averted imagination to spot. 8)

best,
Alan

Excellent image. Hopefully we will get cooperative weather as opposition approaches.

Hi Alan,

A very nice and beautifully processed image.
I know how you feel, it has been raining here since Saturday the 8th and it's predicted to continue until Monday the 17th! I guess I can continue to finish processing the last of my unfinished lunar avi's. smile

Clear & steady skies,

Hello Alan,

I know the feeling :C It has been raining for days straight and now it's just cloudy :C

I just wish I had avis of this quality when it's raining and miserable outside grin As usual your image is a masterpiece in the art of processing.

However, Paolo has sent out one of his famous (and almost always correct) seeing reports and it seems that from tomorrow for three days we'll enjoy good seeing: I just hope it is good during the day too even if the sun seems a bit sleepy these last days.

Ciao Alan
