解説（安達）
　今日は、明け方のリムの方が明るく見え、朝霧がでている様子が分かる。
D.C.Parkerの画像からは、NPHが複雑な様子をしていることをうかがわせてい

Limb at the dawn looks bright today, and the appearance of which the
morning mist has gone out is understood. The appearance where NPH is
complex is made to be looked from the image of D.C.Parker. There is no
remarkable change. (reported by 6 observers)

I made an observation of Mars on September 14, 2005 (06:30 U.T. (IL/W30) and 06:50 U.T.
(W38)) under average to good seeing conditions (5-6/10, moments of 7/10). I noted an impressive amount of detail
extending between Sinus Sabaeus and Solis Lacus (on the following limb).
Mare Erythraeum appeared very complex and mottled. I welcome any comments on my observations.

Date (U. T.): September 14, 2005
Time (U.T.): 06:30 (left image) and 06:50 (right image)
CM: 012.7 (left image) and 017.5 (right image)
Ls 288.0 (Early Northern Winter/Southern Summer)
De -11.3, Diameter 15.7", Phase (p) 0.89
Instrument: 9-inch (23-cm) F/13.5 Maksutov-Cassegrain
Magnification: 248x and 388x
Filters (Wratten): 30 (magenta) and 38 (blue)
Seeing (1-10): 5-6 (moments of 7), Antoniadi (I-V): III

Notes:
06:30 U.T (Left image, IL and W30): The South Polar Cap (SPC) appears small, but brilliant (10/10) surrounded
by a dark (3/10) collar (Mare Oceanidum?). Hellespontus  appears dark (3/10) along the south-preceding limb.
Noachis appears shaded to bright (6-7/10). Chalce (?) appears as a dusky (4/10) wedge extending into Noachis.
Pandorae Fretum appears dark to dusky (3-4/10) south of Sabaeus Sinus (3/10) and Meridiani Sinus (3/10) which are
separated by a shaded to bright (6-7/10) Deucalionis Regio. Brangaena appears a thin, dark (3/10)
curvilinear projection from the north-following border of Meridiani Sinus. Margaritifer Sinus appears dark (3/10)
and wedge-shaped on the CM. Aram appears bright (7/10) between Meridiani Sinus and Margaritifer Sinus. Oxia Palus
appears as an elliptical, dusky (4/10) albedo feature north of the tip of Margaritifer Sinus.
Mare Erythraeum appears complex and mottled (3-6/10) following the CM. Aurorae Sinus appears dark (3/10) and
wedge-shaped towards the following limb. The northern border of Mare Erythraeum appears complex with thin
dusky to dull (4-5/10) projections extending into Chryse-Xanthe (7/10). Solis Lacus appears dark (3/10) and
foreshortened along the following limb. Niliacus Lacus appears as a dark to dusky (3-4/10) wedge partially
obscured by an extremely bright (9/10) North Polar Hood (NPH).
Extremely bright (9/10) morning and evening limb hazes (MLH and ELH) are noted.

06:50 U.T. (Right image, W38): The South Polar Cap (SPC) appears small and brilliant (10/10). Pandorae Fretum
Sabaeus Sinus, Meridiani Sinus, Margaritifier Sinus, Mare Erythraeum, and Solis Lacus are visible as dusky to dull
(4-5/10) albedo features towards the center of the disk. Aram appears bright (7/10, possible water-ice clouds?).
A bright to very bright (7-8/10) cloud appears to extend between Eden and Tharsis over Chryse-Xanthe.
Niliacus Lacus is visible as dull (5/10) wedge south of an extremely bright (9/10) North Polar Hood (NPH).
Extremely bright (9/10) morning limb haze (MLH) and evening limb haze (ELH) is noted.

After a long stop with my imaging run, my newest scope is finally ready to image planets!
It's a 315mm f/25 Dall Kirkham engineered and assembled by myself with excellent quality mirrors!
At the same time, I also used for the first time my new Infinity 2-1 camera in hires planetary imaging: 2 novelties over the same morning!
Seeing apart (just fair), anything went very well and I'm completely satisfied with my creature!

Resolution with this image isn't at the top but colors are wonderful in my monitor: they perfectly match with the Mars aspect I could enjoy at the eyepiece!
Hope you could enjoy them at the same way in your monitors, too.

Other images taken on the 2 following nights will follow.
Any comment appreciated, thanks in advance.
