解説(安達)
 Clyde Foster氏の今回の画像は、最接近時を思わせるくらい詳細な火星面の様子
をつかんでいる。驚きの画像だ。それだけでなく、氷晶雲の様子も非常によくわかる。
Solis LacusやTithonius Lacus付近の詳しい様子が、とらえられている。Solis Lacus
は三角形に見えていたが、星型の姿をしているようだ。これは、前シーズンと全く同じ姿の
ままだ。
 Anthony Wesley氏の画像で注目されるのは、なんといってもHellasだ。2月末に
白雲の広がりが変わって以来、様子は一変した。今回の報告ではHellasの南端に目立
つ白雲があるが、その他の地域の白雲は薄れている。この画像だけでははっきりしたことは
言えないが、東側に向かって広がっているようだ。Syrtis MajorとSinus Sabaeusの間
にあるHuygens crater(W304,-14)が記録された。Boreo syrtisからMare
Acidariumの間の淡く小さな模様も鮮明にとらえられた。

  This image of Mr. Clyde Foster is a state of the detailed Mars surface
which is at the time of the closest approach. This is a surprising image.
I understand not only it but also the state of water ice cloud well very
much. A detailed state of the neighborhood of Solis Lacus and
Tithonius Lacus is caught. Solis Lacus looked like a triangle,but seems
to do a star-shaped figure. This remains a pre-season and an identical
figure.
It is Hellas to attract attention with an image of Mr. Anthony Wesley.
The state changed completely at the end of February since expanse
white cloud changed. There is the white cloud which is outstanding
at the south end of Hellas in this report,but the white cloud of other
areas fades. The clear thing cannot conclude only with this image,
but seems to open towards the east side. Huygens Crater(W304,-14)
in between Syrtis Major and Sinus Sabaeus was recorded. The faintly
small design between Mare Acidarium was captured clearly by Boreo
syrtis,too.

Mars capture from this morning. Bright cloud over Eden,with some more subtle equatorial cloud. Argyre with cloud/frost is evident in the south east and also some subtle markings over Mare Erythraeum.

here's an image of Mars from this morning using an IR >= 750nm filter. The seeing was not stable enough for a colour image,there were storms and unstable conditions around.BR> Arabia is the bright feature at centre,with Chryse rising at left and Syrtis Major setting at right. Sinus Meridiani is the dark feature across the lower part of the image.
The north pole is visible at top left (although muted through this filter) and Hellas basin at lower right can just be seen on the limb with some bright cloud or frost,again muted somewhat through the IR filter. BR>

one more image from this morning. I'd originally thought the colour data would be very poor but after processing it seems to have come up ok.
The north pole is visible on the limb at upper left and Hellas at lower right is full of clouds. Some blue equatorial clouds can be seen across the disk,in particular across Syrtis Major at right.

good seeing. Olympus Mons prominent.
