I made an observation of Mars on January 2-3,2006 (23:50 and 00:30 U.T.,respectively) under average to good seeing conditions (5-7/10). A good amount of detail may still be noted over the planet if one is patient. Hellas appeared very bright (8/10) towards the preceding limb. I welcome any comments that you may have on my observation.

Happy New Year everyone. Here's my first image for the year. Note the cloud details on the South Pole and around Mare Sirenum/Cimmerium area. Olympus Mons is still visible but very small!
