Description

Poor seeing and clouds in SE Australia  have meant a long gap since I was able to post anything worthwhile here.  Yesterday, however, I rose at 4 am and found, for a change, that conditions were clear and the seeing fairly steady for imaging Mars - albeit at low altitude (about 30 degrees - this will remain the case here for this opposition).

The images are in IR850 nm (UT 18:53) and RGB (UT19:08).

Clouds are visible over the Tharsis chain (and possibly over the Lunae plain north of Valles Marineris).  Olympus gleams red to the NW.
