The sky was partially cloudy today. I had to fight the clouds this evening. Seeing was very variable.
Syrtis Major can be seen on the right. Mare Cimmerum is setting. Note the faint clouds at the chaos region.

Seeing was variable this evening.
The NPR is very well resolved. The bright polar cap is contrasted with the polar hood above it! Note the equatorial cloud. Mare Cimmerium can be seen close to the CM. Note the two vertical streaks resolved in Mare Cimmerium.
Syrtis Major is rising on the left.

Here are some images from Jan 31st. Note the bright spot on the edge of the NPC. I wonder if this is the frosted crater Lomonosov? It seems to be in the right position. Perhaps others can comment further.
Note the excellent display of the blue Syrtis cloud during the session.
