Stanislas Maksymowicz (150mm refractor)
with the 150mm refractor.
Clouds are not seen through the deep yellow filter W12.
The NPC area is well whitish,not only NPC.
The extension of the NPC on the morning side is viewed with the W11/W56
filters (this is not the rift shown here,not accessible)

Tiny Martian disk now presented, but still large enough to make some interesting observations! Most interesting tonight; the whole of the Tharsis region (and more) was a a fairly bright white- presumable vast bright clouds over the Tharsis region. I did view an interesting faint grey streak where the three large Tharsis volcanoes would be; I was tempted to think that due to the brightness of the clouds the volcanoes may stand out more, albeit as an unresolved line, but this is probably unlikely given the aperture used and the size of the disk. Certainly there were some very good steady seeing as well as very poor moments. An interesting view, none the less!
