解説(安達)/ Comment by Makoto Adachi
 遠藤氏のカラー画像は、肉眼で見た火星像に非常に近い。微妙な色がよく再現できている。東のエッジ付近には淡い白雲が出ているようだ。
経度は違うがMartin R Lewis氏の画像でもその様子が記録されている。Martin R Lewis氏の画像は、自然な写り方になっていると思う。
Mare Cimmeriumの北側はすぐに明るくなっているが、ここ最近は暗くなっているのが、確認できた。Ausonia南部とEridaniaの明るさは、
IR画像で見るほどの明るさのないことがわかる。
  The color image of Mr. Endo is very near Mars image judging from the naked eye. Delicate colors can reappear well.
 Light white cloud seems to appear in the neighborhood of east edge. The longitude is different, but the state is recorded with the image of
 Mr. Martin R Lewis. I think that the image of Mr. Martin R Lewis becomes the natural looking. The north side of Mare Cimmerium 
became bright immediately, but was able to confirm that here became dark recently. I understand that the southern part of Ausonia 
and the brightness of Eridania do not have the brightness as they see it with an IR image.

今日は非常に気流が良く、シーイング7もありました。強烈な高倍率にしましたが
ディスクははっきり見えることも多く、模様などもそこそこ見えました。時間がたつとともに
クーリングタワーの気塊に近づき、次第に気流が悪くなってきた。2枚しか観測できな
かった。倍率が高くないと白雲の広がりなどは分かりにくいことが分かった。

昨日よりシーイングが少し良くなりました。

This was the best of a large number of attempts I took over a few hours this evening. Conditions varying,but generally poor.
I note a brightening below the SPC which has not been particularly noticeable the last few days. However this could also be due to the limb arc effect,so it would be good to compare with any other images.
Elysium is seen as a diffuse bright spot at lower right.
The ”bridge” (Apodis D/Hesperi S?) connecting the southern end of Mare Tyrrhenum with Mare Cimmerium has been noticeable the last few days,with Ausonia(two lobes?) consistently bright. Mare Sirenum starting to come into view.

Some pleasing details on the Mars image despite its diminutive 6.0"
diameter. The Venus image on the other hand was special,not because of any
detail visible,but because that then completes for me the full set of 7
solar system planets in an 8 month period during this calendar year. Please
take this composite image,with all the planets shown at the same image
scale,as a Christmas card to you all- to bring you good cheer and a
wonderful 2017.
