Lovely shot Wes. Syrtis Major looks quite dark at the limb. Solis Lacus is visible here at the moment...not that i can see much through the rain clouds :S

Seeing forecasts never provide what you expect. Sometimes its right, other times it isnt. Predicting seeing is still a decidedly inexact science...

Excellant shot, if you look carefully above Syris Major at Hellas at the limb, it looks very yellowish,perhaps this is a dust storm that has been rumered to be brewing. :C
