Here are some images from this morning. Good seeing. The whole aspect of Mars at this longitude has become unrecognisable. The changes from yesterday are notable with significant movement of dust, includng a bright core of dust over nectar/protei regio. Dust remians over Solis lacus, and i also suspect dust across the southern polar areas.
