June 24th, 2003
Erich Ng recorded the cloud of Nix Olympica(130W,-30) and Tharsis(
100W,+10). D. C.Parker recorded the state that Hellas(290W,-50)
became bright absentmindedly. This is the state which is the same
as the 23rd. The west limb is north and south together covered with
morning fog. The white spot seems to be an antarctic point.

Dear friends
This morning some cloud gaps allowed me to capture Mars again. Very windy (>25kmph) and my
Mars was almost all the time moving on the ToUcam Pro screen. And finally got 2 out of 12 avis
were useable.

The orograhic cloud on Tharsis at PM limb is vivid and also the very diffused clouds over the
Olympus Mon especially easily visible in B channel.
Wish you all like it
Kind Regards

Dear all -
I am sending you my latest Mars image of June 24th to
be posted on the Mars' websites.
It came out pretty decently while the seeing was below average.
Plus the air was at 90% humidity and quite hazy. This image was
taken about 15 minutes after sunrise.
I think the SPC's rifts can been seen on the left side of the cap
if you look at it carefully.
Meridaini Sinus and Sabaeus Sinus are seen quite easily in the middle.
A possible morning clouds over Chryse along the right side of the
limb (morning limb).
Will try to image again the next morning.
