Seeing 9/10 Trans 10/10

Despite the low altitude of Mars (34 degrees), I knew the seeing earlier in the morning was superb, and, as I hoped, it was still good by the time Mars achieved its zenith.
This view shows Sinus Sabaeus at the Central Meridian and the Schiaparelli crater can be seen. Syrtis Major is on the terminator and rotating out of view.
The large area of red plains to the north is Arabia Terra. The most striking thing however, is the dust storm that has been extensively observed by others in the southern regions.
It seems to me that the Hellas Basin is substantially covered by dust, although its northern extremity on the f side looks brighter and is perhaps less encumbered there.
A tendril looks to have made its way north towards Huygens crater at the boundary between Sinus Sabaeus and Syrtis Major.
Further towards the f limb Noachis Terra is also showing significant dust activity.
I include the WinJUPOS graphic for reference given substantial areas of the image show dust storm activity.
