The image inside SPC to find well reached from Grafton. SPC shows a
very complicated state. Eternal SPC, too, is seen. The bright spot
with the 20 degree west longitude which is in SPC is very still bright.
It is the linear cloud which is in Mare Acidarium (30W,+50) that
becomes a feeling. This cloud comes out to the image of David M.Moore
(U.S.A.), too. The North Pole is pale cloud but as for this cloud, the
color is different. This may be dust storm. Specifically, brightspot
can be seen at the end in the south of this cloud. The place is the
interval of Niliacus lacus(30W,+30)  and Nilokeras(50W,+30). The
change of the future attracts attention.

Hi Mars Observers
Here is an image from July 29th 2003. The sky was partly cloudy
transparancy was fair to good 6/10 and seeing was very good  8/10.

RED  + IR rejection, .3  seconds, SBIG filter
GREEN + IR rejection, .6  seconds, SBIG filter
BLUE  + IR rejection,  1.  second, SBIG filter
Luminance, IR + Red , 600-1000nm  .08  seconds,  Edmunds filter

I apologize if you have already received this.  I had server problems this afternoon.
I am resending it.  Getting a   major storm right now as I write this!
Finally got a clear morning.
Monsoons have been strong this year with heavy cloud cover evenings and early mornings.
Not my best effort, even with good skies.
Not haven seen Mars in a week it is surprising how large it is now.
Some interesting doings in the North.  Mare Acidalium has a bright streak running across it.
Bright in red,   but not in blue.
It seems to be intermingled with the NPH which is more prominent than in the past several
weeks..  Could be some sort of front or wave w/ dust in it I suppose.
Thanks

Hi all!
I herewith send 4 images of Mars.
The seeing was 3 to4 on a scale of 10 but the transparency was perfect.
Further related information is indicated in the picture.

Hi All
Here are some .JPG images taken between seafood and pina coladas on the Keys.
I used a 10-inch Mewlon Dall-Kirkham, Paramount ME, and a ToUCam, eyepiece projection.
The differences in color occurred when I started using an IR rejection filter.
This provided somewhat better, more realistic color balance --
Mars looks more yellow than red through the eyepiece.
I also used an Adirondack PADC-1 variable prism to reduce prismatic dispersion.
The thing actually works!
