解説(安達)/ Comment by Makoto Adachi
 ダストストームが淡くなってきたらしく、火星像が今までのような黄色ではなく、赤っぽくなってきているようだ。一方、画像のリムは
ダストの影響で黄色くなっている。この様子はClyde Foster氏の1枚目のカラー画像からよくわかる。
 Pietro De Gregorio氏の画像ではSyrtis Majorの中央をダストのベルトが横切っている様子が記録されている。Anthony Wesley氏の画像
からはMare Sirenumにあかるいダストストームが見られる。

The dust storm seems to be getting dim, and it seems that the statue of Mars is getting reddish rather than yellow as it has been. 
On the other hand, the limb of the image becomes yellow due to the effect of dust. This situation is clearly understood from Mr. Clyde Foster's 
first color image.
  In the image of Pietro De Gregorio, it is recorded that the dust belt crosses the center of Syrtis Major. From Mr. Anthony Wesley's image 
Mare Sirenum can see a dust storm.

The early session from last night.
I pushed the IR a bit to bring out some of the finer texture(most of which is “real”,based on comparing images over a short time period).
Comparing with Anthony Wesley’s IR image of earlier in the day,it appears that a lot of the most active dust regions are in the high southern latitudes.
I also note the light ring around Elysium.

Mars of 5 July 2018 under a very good seeing,it seems that the dust storm is calming,as clearly seen on the globe of Mars,
which is half lightening while the other half is still obscured,as well as the south polar cap.

Note; errata: for "left",please read "right" in the first part of the description below.

Hi all,here's a colour image of Mars from this morning. Olympus Mons is visible at top left,
and further left we see the three Tharsis volcanoes all poking through the thick dust.
Dust covers most of the surface making it almost invisible.
The south polar cap at bottom shows a lot of dust-related features,
with raised dust clearly visible to the lower right of the image giving the terminator the characteristic wrinkled appearance.
There is also some hint of raised dust in the atmosphere on the right hand edge of the south polar cap.

The dust storms still dominate the planet.
