The inside latitude of the southern hemisphere south is covered with a
light fog. The cloud of an Arctic district is bright and remarkable.
These appearances are clearly recorded by the image of Damian Peach.
As for Argyre (30W,-50) bright, the appearance that seems to be the
geographical features fog made geographical features in the basin is
recorded.

Fairly good results on Mars last night
I think,considering the seeing was not
great and the planet is only 9.9" diameter. Solis Lacus is on the meridian and
blue clouds are visible over Memnonia and Argyre.

For the first time,I have made a precise calculation of the EFR of the D-K-D
Cassegrain plus 1.6x Powermate combination,based on measuring the size of Mars
in the frame,assuming a chip diagonal of 4.5 mm (from Sony/Philips data sheet)
and using the tabulated angular diameter of the planet. I was surprised that the
answer is as high as 59,EFL 15000mm. No wonder it's so hard to keep on the
chip. I had previously thought it was about f40.

(The formula is   F=206265d/theta


where F is the EFL in mm,d is the height of the image on the chip in mm,and
theta is the angular diameter in seconds of arc.)

Here are some images from the 21st. Good seeing. Lots of interesting cloud activity. Argyre is well defined and bright in Blue. The SPH is nicely defined. Also a bright cloud across Daedelia. Also weak mists across Candor/Ophir and Tharsis. The NPH remians bright.
Ascraeus Mons dark in red, and very dark in blue. Olympus Mons on the terminator appears very dark in the 1837ut image. Arsia Mons is a dark spot in Red.
