シルチスがしだいに西の端に近付いてきた。アウソニア
（Ausonia;265W,-25)の北部の明るい部分が気になる。ここは
前回、大黄雲が発生したもっとも影響の大きかった部分であり、
永く明るくなっていた部分でもある。そのため、暗い模様が
覆われてしまっている可能性もある。南半球がしっかり見える
ようになるまで詳しい状況は分からないかも知れない。
  ボレオシルティス(Boreosyrtis;280W,+55)からウートピア
（Utopia;260W,+50)にかけては非常によく目立っているが、
いつもの姿だ。北極は白く見えない。

Syrtis major approached an western edge. The light part
in the northern part of the Ausonia(265W,-25) is very
conspicuous. This place is the place where the main unit
od the great dust storm was made last time. Probably,
it is mainly influenced in dust storm. There is possibility
that a dark pattern was covered up by sand, too. This
place is the place of pivot note until the southern
hemisphere can be seen fast.
It is conspicuous darkly from the Boreosyrtis(280W,+55)
to the Utopia(260W,+50) but this is a usual appearace.

Hi all,

Here are some more Mars images, this time from Nov
18th, showing Syrtis major area, now disappearing
off the disk from here. Syrtis major appears quite
dark, and rather thinner than in the past possibly?.
Also
the hyblaeus extension was recorded in I band. Also,
Utopia/Casius appear quite prominent.

Will attempt to obtain more when the clouds and rain
disappear...

Best Wishes
