Hi:

The Red Planet captured (at 5:57UT) two nights ago during an all nighter. You can see a very large transparent shield of clouds over Mar's southern polar regions. Meade 10" SCT and SPC900NC working at 30fps and running for one minute and fifty seven seconds. I processed the best 520/3476 in Rv4, hope you like it. Cheers, Dan smile

Dan, excellent Mars! It's amazing how you can squeeze good 30fps frames out of that Toucam. This Mars season has been horrible for seeing.

Regards,
Steve
