Description

We are finally getting some more typical autumn weather in Canberra - April and May have in the past generally been my best times of year for imaging. On the morning of Good Friday, I found conditions clear and fairly steady. Mars here is still only 5.4". You can see the plains of Utopia and Elysium, the southern polar cap showing signs of breaking up (though there is a bright spot on the sunlit edge), and quite high contrast in Hesperia.
