Martin R Lewis (222mm Newton)
Here is an image of the bland side of Mars taken earlier in the evening on 17th in reasonable seeing showing orographic clouds over Olympus Mons,Arcadia and the 3 Tharsis volcanoes.

Fighting the clouds again but managed to get a nice view with the darker areas much more prominent than other recent images even with the same processing technique in Registax (same wavelt settings) and scope/camera set-up. Odd? Is this tranparency dependent?
