I made an observation of Mars made on February 19, 2014 (07:30 U.T.) using a 
9-inch (23-cm) F/13.5 Maksutov-Cassegrain (258x, S: 6/10, T: 5/6). I was able to 
detect many interesting albedo features as noted. The North Polar Cap (NPC) was 
brilliant (10/10). The NPC was surrounded by a dark to dusky (3-4/10) collar 
consisting of Lemuria and Cecropia. Syrtis Major was prominent (3/10) following 
the central meridian (CM) and exhibited irregular borders. Mare Tyrrhenum and 
Mare Cimmerium were visibly dark to dusky (3-4/10) and mottled. A bright strip 
(7/10) Hesperia separated Mare Tyrrhenum and Mare Cimmerium. A very to extremely 
bright (8-9/10) cloud was visible over Hellas. Elysium was visible towards the 
following limb with a faint cloud over it. Very to extremely bright hazes were 
noted along the limbs of the planet. I hope that you all like it.
My best regards to you and all fellow Mars observers/imagers.
