There was not observation from Japan. It was sent from observation
Ed.Grafton near Margaritifer sinus(20W,-10). Near Argyre(30W,-50),
it becomes dark on the whole from Noachis(0W,-45). There is long
dust cloud in east and west at the end in the north of Sinus
Sabaeus(340W,-5). It is in this season beginning that Meridiani(0W,
-5) will have fallen to two separately. Because, it is because the
diameter of the Mars became big. The North Pole is covered with
yellow cloud. Observation near Syrtis major(290W,+10) was sent from
Italy. Hellas(290W,-50) is brighter than so far and is deteriorated.
Light dust seems to come out. Paolo Baidoni is recording this
state,too. Erich Ng is recording the band which can be seen on the
northern side of Mare Cimmerium (220W,-20) in the parallel to
Cimmerium. Orographic cloud near Tharsis(100W,+10) can be well
seen.

Hi all : good seeing and transparency this morning. This time all color
images have been realized with the ToUcam in color mode (with an UV/IR
blocking filter). I find that the aspect of the planet is much more
realisticly rendered than with my previous RRGB composites ; like the very
fine creamy color of Hellas, beautiful in visual.
The NPH looks prominent.
