Please find attached a Mars drawing from last night. Alas seeing was not great,although some steady moments did occur. In the south Erythaeum can be made out,while Acidalium can be seen in the north,The north polar cap is now quite small but still visible. The thing that really took my attention was what looked like a bright cloud on the evening terminator- presumably over Moab/Eden. Similarly,there also appeared to be a bright cloud in Arcadia near the morning limb.

I have attached RGB Mars images from 4 March.
Bright orographics are on the western sides of Olympus and Ascraeus Montes. Less conspicuous cloud is seen over Pavonis while no Arsia cloud was detected. Bright clouds appear over E. Tharsis. There are hazes across Amazonis. A cloud is seen over Olympia (Lemuria).
