　遠藤宏次氏の画像ではHellas東部のAusoniaの南部が明るくなっているのが気になるが、シーイングが悪いため、よくわからない。Clyde Foster氏の画像ではAcidariumと
南極冠周辺の雲の色が異なる様子がよくわかる。Paul Maxson氏は久しぶりにElysiumの様子を報告された。明るい雲はない。

　With the image of Mr.Endo, the southern part of Ausonia in eastern Hellas becomes bright. It looks like I am interested, but does not understand it well because
 seeing is bad. With the image of Mr. Clyde Foster, I understand the state that is different from Mare Acidarium in the color of the cloud around SPC well. 
A state of Elysium was reported to Mr. Paul Maxson after a long absence. There is not the bright cloud.

雲の薄い部分に差し掛かったときになんとか撮影ができました。

I am busy catching up on my images from the last few days.
Seeing conditions continue to be reasonable.
In the colour image,I am processing the SPC region separately in order not to burn out or overprocess due to the brightness of the SPC at present.
I am wary of the bright area immediately below the SPC and am not sure if this is due to a combination of the small size of Mars,the seeing conditions,
the brightness of the SPC and/or optical issues. Any comments from those with more experience that I have would be welcome.
There seems to be quite extensive cloud over Mare Acidalium.
Due to the recent public interest in the latest ESA mission and my specific interest in Mars,
I was privileged,through our local Southern African Astronomical Society (ASSA) to be invited by our national broadcasting corporation (SABC) to do a live TV news interview on Mars on Monday morning(24th).
This was my first TV interview,so it was a combination of excitement and nervousness! I hope and think that it went off ok,and for your interest I attach a few images from the interview. For me it certainly was a wonderful experience.
