　北極付近には、相変わらず白雲がいくつか見える。Fernando Silva Correa氏の画
像は、白雲の広がりが見事にとらえられている。Olympus Monsのあたりでは、3月14日
と同じく、風の流れが東北東から吹いていることが分かる。

  Some white cloud same as before are seen in the neighborhood of 
North Pole. As for the image of Mr. Fernando Silva Correa, an expanse
 of the white cloud is caught wonderfully. Around Olympus Mons, I
 understand that a flow of the wind blows from the east-northeast as 
well as March 14.

Mars capture from this morning. Unfortuntely a very short session with high cloud and heavy dewing due to cooler conditions after heavy rain this last week. So conditions rather poor,but submitting "for the record".
However a few comments:
1. Particularly in the IR image,there appears to be a fine line joining the Valles Marineris region with Nikokeras. Under these poor conditions,however,it is difficult to make a firm assessment.

2.More out of interest,in processing,I "pushed" the blue channel a little and it produced an interesting effect. Namely that it gives the impression of extensive haze across a large portion of the planet(attached portrait image). However,again under these conditions,I would be wary of drawing any significant conclusions.
