North cap the brightest area.
Argyre bright,the north cap area also bright and
White,distinct.
Main:.the Tempe area is white bright intense
Chryse-Xanthe: not bright a lot.
Any way,the intensity reports shows an EBC
cloud as Margaratifer and Aurorae are partially
covered.
Generally speaking this area is unusual regarding
Contrasts details.
A brighter area on the north cap as shown,a grey
Line into the cap with this patch bright at the
Morning side.

Brightness observations: blue light
-	the Tempe all area is B+ but B+++
at the edge disk
-	Argyre is B++ on the feature and B/B+ on
the border feature,but with on south area top well bright and distinct.
-	Hellas border at the edge disk is B++.
These observations are on the same tendency with W8 filter and without. EBC cloud with W56

Notes:
An average observation under bad seeing levels.

Cap is seen bordered dark with dark
existent features as shown.
The limb-terminator are very hazy.
The main features remained anyway
accessible under the given conditions.
EBC clouds with the W56 filter.
Good period for ice light reflexion and
flares: nothing revealed here.
Sorry for my bad scanner tool,will change it this
Afternoon.

Peter Edwards(280mm SC)
We are blessed with some good seeing for a change near opposition. Attached
is an image from last night under gusty cold conditions,but good seeing.

Some division in the N polar cap is visible as it begins to melt and some
high white cloud or mist on the western limb.

Here are some images obtained 3-4hrs past exact opposition with Mars 99 million km distant (twice as far as in 2003!.) Seeing was reasonably good at times.
Regarding the CMO alert - there seems to be two localised dust areas on the NPC boundary,the primary one having moved south over Baltia,and hooking off in a north west direction.
The second patch which is located just preceding the main one also shows some hints of a similar movement.

I made an observation of Mars on January 29,2010 under good to very good seeing
conditions (7-8/10) . The amount of detail visible over the regions between
Chyrse/Xanthe (on the preceding (evening) limb) and Elysium (on the following
(morning) limb) was impressive. Albedo features over the Tharsis region,during
moments of very steady seeing,exhibited a complex mottling that was difficult
to render. I welcome any comments on my observations.

Notes:
05:45 U.T. (CM 131.0*W,Wratten 30 (Magenta)): The North Polar Cap (NPC) appears
brilliant (10/10) with a dark (3/10) collar comprised of Mare Boreum. Mare
Sirenum appears dark to dusky (3-4/10) over the southern limb with dull (5/10)
projections from it’s northern border connecting to “Valhalla” (4-5/10). Tharsis
appears dusky to shaded (4-6/10) and mottled over the central meridian (CM). Nix
Olympica appears as a bright to very bright (7-8/10) orographic cloud
(Mountain-associated) is visible following the CM over the Tharsis region (a
water-ice cloud over the flanks of Olympus Mons). Mare Acidalium appears dark to
dusky (3-4/10) over the North-preceding (Np) limb with a dusky to dull (4-5/10)
Nilokeras connecting to a dusky (4/10) Lunae Lacus. Chryse-Xanthe appears very
to extremely bright (8-9/10) over the preceding (morning) limb. Ganges appears
as a dull (5/10) band extending between Lunae Lacus and Aurorae Sinus (3-4/10).
Agathodaemon (Coprates) appears a thin,dark to dusky (3-4/10) projection
extending from the following border of Aurorae Sinus. Tithonius Lacus appears a
dusky (4/10) “knob” at the following end of Agathodaemon. Mare Erythraeum
appears dusky to dull (4-5/10) and mottled and bright to very bright (7-8/10)
haze over it on the preceding limb. Solis Lacus appears dark to dusky (3-4/10)
and “fan-shaped” towards the South-preceding (Sp) limb. Aonius Sinus appears as
a dark (3/10) wedge  towards the southern limb. Trivium Charontis and the
Propontis Complex appear as dark to dusky (3-4/10) condensations towards the
following (morning) limb. Elysium appears bright to very bright (7-8/10) towards
the following limb. Memnonia and Zephyria appear bright (7/10) without any
detail visible within. The evening limb haze (ELH),southern limb haze (SLH),
and morning limb haze (MLH) appear very to extremely bright (8-9/10).

06:15 U.T. (CM 138.3*W,Wratten 80 (Blue)): The North Polar Cap (NPC) appears
brilliant (10/10). A bright to very bright (7-8/10) cloud is visible over Tempe.
A very to extremely bright (8-9/10) cloud is visible over Chryse-Xanthe. Nix
Olympica appears a bright to very bright (7-8/10) cloud following the CM. A
bright to very bright (7-8/10) cloud is visible over Elysium. The preceding
(evening) limb,southern limb,and following (morning) limbs appear very to
extremely bright (8-9/10).

The best of luck to you,your family,and the members of ALPO Japan.
