シーイングが悪く、観測意欲がわいてきません。なかなか粘れなくなってきました。
気力、体力の衰えに、我ながら情けないことになってきたものだとややがっくりきています。
・クリセ平原あたりの輝きがとても強いです。

I made observations of Mars on September 28, 2005 (06:30 U.T. (IL/W30) and 06:50 U.T. (W38)) under average seeing conditions (5-6/10). Brief moments of steady seeing (7/10) allowed me to note much detail over the Martian disk, especially over the southern hemisphere. I welcome any comments that you may have on my observations.

Notes:
06:30 U.T. (Left image, IL/W30): The South Polar Cap (SPC) appeared very small but brilliant (10/10) and surrounded by a dark (3/10) collar (Mare Australe). Mare Cimmerium was prominent (3-4/10) and mottled preceding the CM with Tritonis Sinus on the CM itself. A section of "Valhalla" was visible (5/10) to the north of Mare Cimmerium towards the preceding limb. Scamander was visible along the southern border of Mare Cimmerium (it's base (Scamandri Sinus) was darker (3/10) compared to the rest of the feature (4-5/10)). Electris, Eridania, and Ausonia appeared shaded to bright (6-7/10) and finely mottled. Mare Chronium appeared dusky (4/10) along the CM towards the south. Hesperia appeared as a bright to very bright (7-8/10) angled wedge on the CM between Mare Cimmerium and Mare Tyrrhenum (3-4/10). Syrtis Minor was visible as a dark (3/10) wedge following the CM. Mare Hadriacum was visible as a dusky to dark (3-4/10) eastern (preceding) border of a very bright to brilliant (8-9/10) Hellas. Iapygia Viridis was visible (4/10) adjacent to an extremely bright (9/10) morning limb haze (MLH). Syrtis Major appeared as a dark (3/10) wedge adjacent to the MLH. Moeris Lacus (4-5/10) was visible projecting from the preceding (eastern) border of Syrtis Major. Libya appeared very bright (8/10) possibly due to clouds or haze. Aeolis, Aethiopis, and Aetheria appeared bright (7/10). Elysium was very bright to extremely bright (8-9/10) along the north-preceding limb. Pambotis Lacus (3/10), Eunostos (4/10), and the Hyblaeus Extension (3-4/10) were visible along the following border of Elysium. Nodus Alcyonius was visible as a dark (3/10) oval following the CM. Utopia was partially visible (4/10) south an extremely bright (9/10) North Polar Hood (NPH). An extremely bright (9/10) evening limb haze (ELH) was visible as well.

06:50 U.T. (Right image, Wratten 38): The South Polar Cap (SPC) appeared brilliant (10/10). Mare Cimmerium and Mare Tyrrhenum were visibly dull (5/10) with little other detail towards the center of the disk. Syrtis Major was  visible as a dull (5/10) projection towards the following limb. Libya appeared very bright (8/10). Hesperia appeared as a thin, bright (7/10) wedge just preceding the CM. Hellas appeared very bright to extremely bright (8-9/10) with very bright (8/10) projections extending from it's preceding border over Ausonia. Extremely bright (9/10) morning and evening limb hazes (MLH and ELH) were visible. the North Polar Hood (NPH) appeared extremely bright (9/10) as well.
