Despite some cloud being forecast, I took my chances and snuck out of bed a bit early in surprisingly cool conditions for this time of year. 
It was a battle with the planet at 4.2” wobbling like a jellyfish through cloud and branches in brightening sky. 
But its Mars! For obvious reasons, I stayed with IR. 
With some heavy handed processing, it was nice to at least make out some familiar features. 
Niliacus L and M Acidalium are in the lower part of the image. Maybe a hint of L Lacus. Chryse across the centre with Tharsis to the right. 
Also maybe a hint of S. Meridiani on the preceding (L) limb. 
M Erythraeum extends across the upper portion of the image with Aurorae Sinus and Valles Marineris. 
It’s possible that Argyle may be showing as light at upper left. 
Very poor conditions, but a promising indication that under better conditions, there is a prospect of some reasonable results.
