Christopher Go (355mm SC)
Seeing was a little better this evening.
Lots of details in Mars! Lots of details resolved in Mare Erythraeum. The steaks are fascinating. No wonder Giovanni Schiaparelli thought these were "canals". Valles Marineris start around the northern part of Mare Erythraeum. Do these streaks form part of Valles Marineris?
Note the cloud on Argyre on the south. Sinus Meridiani is setting on the right. The Opportunity Mars Rover is currently in the western portion of Sinus Meridiani. Chryse is at the CM.
Note the morning clouds on Tharsis. The top of Ascraeus Mons can be seen peeking out of the cloud tops.
The North polar cap seems yellowish. I tried to adjust color balance but can't seem to get it to become white. Is there dust on the pole?

風が強くシーイングも悪いのですが意外にも火星面はクリアーに見えました。
