Good seeing although low transparency.
I'm the first one to warn people about the risk of confusing Chryse with a dust storm, however, it's quite intense here... burnt in near IR, and still contrasted in green light (G is interesting to contrast dust).
The THEMIS detected some nice dust activity on the n. polar regions of Mars on the very last days, so it could be a cross-equatorial storm - or just my eyes
I hope that some of you will send some more images to confirm this or not.
