解説(安達)
 D.C.Parkerからはアルシア・シルバ(Arsia Silva;125W,-5)の雲の画像が報
告された。正午を過ぎると、雲がどんどん発達する様子が良く分かる。また、
同時に低緯度地方の白雲は、正午近くなると淡くなって行く様子も記録されて
いる。また、南極や北極のフードも画像には良く出ている。肉眼ではそれ程の
明るさは感じられないが、火星面の特徴が良く分かる画像だ。全体として、大
きな変化は見られない。(reported by 7 observers)

The image of the cloud of Arsia Silva (125W,-5) was reported from
D.C.Parker. When noon is passed, the appearance to which the cloud
develops fast is understood well. Moreover, the appearance that becomes
light when becoming it toward noon is recorded as for white clouds of
low at the same time latitude, too. Moreover, hood of the South Pole
and the North Pole looks good in the image. It is an image to understand
the feature on the Mars side well though the brightness of it is not
felt in the visual observation. A big change is not seen as a whole.

Our best Mars yet...note the wonderful topographic detail visible in the RED/Infrared
grayscale image.  Olympus Mons and other Tharsis features are well shown.

Attached are 2 images from this morning Sept. 4th taken under poor-fair seeing conditions.
The Solis Lacus region shows its different surroudings well.Note especially the line of Tithonius Lacus
(as on the Antoniadi and Flammarion map,and as Agathodaemon on the map of Schiaparelli)
which is actually a sign of Valles Marineris!
Taken with my 10 inch Newton and ToUcam PCVC750k (IR670-1000nm and color shot).

Here my second Mars image, seeing conditions appearing good to direct view but during acquisition with webcam the seeing appear only fair, moreover there was a bad little wind.... and haze surronding all the city.
Interesting north cup details despite not very high details, but I hope in best future seeing conditions.

I have attached an animated .GIF file from 4 Sept. showing the growth of an orographic cloud over Arsia Mons between 07:25 UT and 09:29 UT. A small terminator cloud is also seen on the first two images.


Prominent orographic cloud over Arsia Mons and small terminator cloud.
