解説（安達）/ Comment by Makoto Adachi 今日も一人だけの観測報告となった。視直径はかなり小さくなっているが、かなり細かな模様が記録されている。 北極付近の白雲や南半球の欠け際の白雲もとらえられている。 It became the observation report only for one today. The apparent angular diameter becomes considerably small, but a considerably small design is recorded. White cloud of the neighborhood of North Pole and the white cloud by the miss of the Southern Hemisphere are caught, too. （by 1 observation ;reported by Makoto Adachi) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some commitments meant I was only able to capture a bit later on the 4th. I was pleasantly surprised that the seeing was not that bad. The scope was swung across the pier, and a rather severe limb effect was noted, which I have not processed out in the decomposed channel images. I am wary of the possible contrast/limb effect just below the SPC, and am not sure how accurate this is in reality. Out of interest, I have been testing live streaming from my observatory, and may do further testing, including live streaming of Mars, later today(6 October) from about 15.00UT, weather permitting. If you want to have a look, please go to my Youtube channel(I will set it to public) at between 15.00 and 15.15UT. 〓You should pick it up if you search for “Clyde F”. Seeing has not been great, and we have been having late afternoon cloud the last few days, so I cannot guarantee a decent view. However, it is Mars, and it will be live![Clyde Foster:Centurion,South Africa]
