解説(安達)
キンメリウム(Mare Cimmerium;220W,-20)方面には、大きな変化は見られな
い。David Mooreの画像では、北極が白く明るく写っている。NPCよりも大きい
ことから、この地域には雲の出ていることが分かる。青画像で明るく、赤画像
では暗いことから判断できる。クサンテ(Xanthe;50W,+10)が明るくなっている
が、これは、この地域特有の夕霧だと思われる。(reported by 2 observers)
A big change is not seen in the Mare Cimmerium (220W、-20)district.
In the image of David Moore, the North Pole is white, well informed,
and it is reflected. It is understood that the cloud appears more
greatly than NPC in this region. This can be well informed about blue
image, and it judge it in a red image because it is dark. This seems
a peculiar evening mist to this region though Xanthe (50W,+10) has
lightened. (reported by 2 observers)

昨日よりシーイングはましだが、風があり鏡筒が絶えず揺られ3色取りそろえるのは困難だった。黄砂の影響か月の周りがやや滲む。今朝は雪だったので大変寒い。

It has been a while since I last posted a Mars image, or any image for that matter. I have been doing some imaging with my 10", but have not posted them.
Most of my time since late October has been spent rebuilding my 14.25" Classical Cassegrain. It is pretty much done now and here are my first efforts. The collimation is off a bit after an "incident" last night, but is still close. Of course seeing from my desert site is still more poor than good.
The primary was expertly re-polished and a new secondary was ground by Michael Lockwood of Champaign, Illinois. He recently was featured in Sky and Telescope with a Planetary 10" F8.8 Dobsonian. Though only an ATMer, he is truly an expert and professional in every way.
At any rate, I am the happy parent of a much improved 14.25" F/21 Classical Cassegrain. I expect it to serve me well. Saturn and Jupiter can be imaged at prime focus with my ATK1HS 1/4" chip.
I leave for Germany next week on business so I will be deprived of using it for a few weeks, but when I return I hope to continue to image Mars well into the early Summer.
