I made an observation of Mars on February 22, 2014 (07:30 U.T., CM 230.1oW)
using a 9-inch (23-cm) F/13.5 Maksutov-Cassegrain (258x/Baader Contrast Booster
filter) and was able to detect many albedo features over the red planet. The
North Polar Cap (NPC) was small and brilliant (10/10) with a very to extremely
bright outlier (remnant), Olympia, separated a thin, dark (3/10) strip. The NPC
was surrounded by a dark to dusky (3-4/10) collar composed of Lemuria and
Cecropia. Syrtis Major (3-4/10) was prominent towards the following limb and was
partially covered by a very to extremely bright (8-9/10) cloud that extended
towards the east over Libya (7-8/10). Mare Tyrrhenum (3-4/10) and Mare Cimmerium
(3-4/10, and mottled) were prominent towards the South and separated by a bright
(7/10) Hesperia. Elysium was prominent (7-8/10) toward the preceding (p., or
eastern) limb with a small very bright (8/10) cloud over it's eastern portion.
The lime (Northern, Southern, preceding (eastern), and following (western)) were
very to extremely bright (8-9/10). I hope that you all like it.
My best to you and all fellow Mars observers/imagers.
