Hi,

This image was take on July 16 2003
at 05:28 CST or 10:28 UT .

If I have my information correct the three volcanos that for a line pointing toward the South Polar Cap are beginning with the one farthest North ,Arsia Mons, Pavonis Mons and Ascraeus Mons.
Olympus Mons can be see near the terminator about the
middle .
I have been using a Schuler IR Rejection filter and for this image I used the Baader UV-IR that I just received ,
I'm not sure which one is best as of now .

Starmaster 14.5 working at F/40 ,
Toucam Pro, 367 frames from one Avi of 1600

*10:28 UT
*CM 164.54
*Dia 19.43
*Alt. 40 Degrees

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Wes, could you see them visually through the eyepiece?
