July 1st, 2003
Japan observed the neighborhood of Aurorae sinus(50W,-10). The
image of Nakata(Japan) is near the image which was seen with the
naked eye. Kazemoto(Japan) is recording a 20W british spot（in
the SPC edge) well. It is possible to be seen in the area where
Mare Erytraeum(40W,-25) became dim. The shocking image was sent
from D.C.Parker. It is recording dust near Depressio Ionica(300W,
-23) which is in the north of Hellas(295W-50). It seems the image
of 09:17UT well. Green image is recorded as the bright spot. As
for the form of Hellas, it finds the whole appearance. In, it is
possible to be darkly seen on the whole. An arctic region is covered
with white cloud. In the observation this time, it understands t
he state of SPC well.

Hi All
I have attached Mars images from 1 July. Some significant changes
appear
to have taken place over the past day. As Jeff Beish and Dan Troiani
reported, marked weakening of Tyrrhenum M. and Syrtis minor, much like what
happened before the dust storm of 2001. Other changes noted on image and text.

MARS IMAGES   1 July, 2003
D.C. Parker, Coral Gables, FL. 16-in (41cm) Newtonian
ST9XE CCD Camera  Eyepiece Projection @ f/55.4
Integration Times:
RED (RG610 Red Filter, 610-1100nm: NO IR Rejection)    0.16s 2-3  images
GREEN (CFW8C, 531nm central; BWHM 86nm)    0.40s    7 images
BLUE (CFW8C, 450nm central, BWHM 116nm)   1.30s  6 images
Images bias,flat and dark corrected.
Seeing variable (5-6, Pickering).  Transparency 4m, slight haze. HIGH WINDS, E-SE 4-16 kts. No dew, post rain storm.
Altitude = 51 degrees.
Significant changes have occurred over the past 24 hours:
1. Mare Tyrrhenum, Syrtis Minor, and Crocea-Oenotria have lightened considerably, appearing to be covered by a thin whitish cloud.
This is similar to the aspect of Mars in 2001 about a week before the great dust storm. These features were dark and "normal" on
30 June (Beish) and throughout June (Grafton, Parker, Lazorotti, Pellier).
2. Bright ochre spots rimming Hellas and obscuring Deltoton-Iapygia -- the latter spots are conspicuous in green light. Hellas spots imaged
by Grafton on 6/28. Little detail noted on the floor of Hellas.
3. Possible small dust cloud over SPC. This has been imaged over the past week by Bates, Lazorotti, Ng, Pellier, Williamson, and others.

Rima Australis-Ulyxis Fr. prominent. NP Hood thinner as is AM limb arc.
Violet Clearing partial (2+) in areas not covered by clouds that are faint in blue light.

Dear friends
The attached image was taken in this morning. Same CM as the yesterday posted image.
Seeing and transparency was betterbut gradually degraded. You can see the solis lacus near
the CM and also the limb haze. A thick piece of clouds rolled in half an hour later after this
shot that leading me to stop imaging.

There are some bright spot features on the SPC, may anyone kindly comment what are they?
Kind Regards
