 Clyde Foster氏の画像は、前日とほぼ同じ経度の観測だが、今日はオリンピア山(Olympus Mons;135W,+25)がターミネータに位置し、
白雲をいただいている様子がきろくされた。その他の傾向は、前日と同じだ。低緯度地方の氷晶雲は、Ethan Chappel氏の画像でもよく記録
されている。

Mr. Clyde Foster's image shows almost the same longitude as the previous day, but today it is spotted that Olympus Mons( 135W, +25) 
is located at the terminator and is receiving white clouds. Other trends are the same as the previous day. Water ice clouds in low latitudes 
are also well documented by Mr. Ethan Chappel's images.

Full image set from this morning. Equatorial cloud remains over the sunlit limb at right.
I believe there is also cloud at upper right,
and tend to agree with a comment by Carlos Hernandez on one of my posts of yesterday that this may be emanating from Hellas.
Elysium is the bright spot to the lower right of centre with Propontis I to its lower left.
M Cimmerium is above Elysium with the light Hesperia to its right.
I believe I may have caught a late afternoon cloud over Olympus Mons,
which is rotating into the night (on the left limb) just below centre.
On a positive note,I slewed to Jupiter after this session and managed to get a glimpse of it through branches and leaves.
Nothing worth posting,but hopefully won’t be too long before it appears above the tree.

Started the day with the scariest event I've ever experienced: waking up to an alarm. 
I had the phone set to full volume and laying next to my ear.
My heart was still racing at the end of the imaging session, making it slightly difficult to precisely focus the telescope.

Syrtis Major is setting.
Sinus Sabeaus is at the central meridian.
