I photographed Mars on the 26th of February 2014 at 02h 06m UT from Stockholm, Sweden. The orographic clouds are spreading on Mars above the big vulcanoes in the Tharsis Region. Olympus Mons is to the right of the center. There also seems to be a storm going on to the left of the North Polar Cap moving up high in the atmosphere resulting in a visible bulge on the terminator (indicated by the arrow). Mars is 11 arcseconds in diameter and rises to a maximum of 22° above the horizon as observed from Stockholm. Telescope: Celestron EdgeHD 8 Camera: DBK41AF02 4x Televue Powermate, f/40. I also send you a gif-animation composed of 8 frames showing 1,5 h of Mars rotating, from 01h05 to 02h35 UT. The bulge is visible in most of the frames.
