Seeing still variable this evening.
Syrtis Major is prominent today. The clouds in Hellas is very
bright. The north polar cap is getting smaller. There is a bright
afternoon cloud over Elysium. The cloud on the left are morning
clouds over Chryse.

Seeing was only fair to poor before I got clouded out. Orographic clouds stand out over the Tharsis volcanoes as well as over Elysium near the sunrise limb.

Attached is a drawing of Mars made on 14th May. Not much on the disk,Acidalium and Solis Lacus on the proc. limb. The north polar cap is now very small. The proc limb was bright,no doubt due to white cloud activity.

These past evenings I have been observing Mars with a regular spacing of imaging and during as many hours as possible, as this is the best way to image the red planet.
For the night of May 14th, I'm seeing 2 to 3 successive cloud fronts near the polar cap with a cloud-free post-frontal area (see blue light). The central one over Mare Acidalium has moved eastward during the two hours and half. See animation :
Quick WinJupos measurements say that the front has shifted around 10° during the session, this would represent 350 km in distance at a speed of 130 to 140 km/h. I will study more on this
Here is the full set (6 RGB series):
