解説（安達）/ Comment by Makoto Adachi CM＝350°の観測報告だが、観測条件が非常に悪く、表面の様子はよくわからない。 しかし、西のリム（Chryse）には明るい部分があって、驚いた。 It is an observation report of CM = 350 °, but the observation condition is very bad and the state of the surface is not well understood. However, there was a bright part in the west f. limb (Chryse), I was surprised. （by 1 observation ;reported by Makoto Adachi) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had to cut back a few bushes to get this capture low in the east. I had tried a few days earlier but with Mars so low and with turbulent morning conditions, I could not get any surface detail. Very difficult conditions again this morning but at least a few features becoming visible: The bright Arabia region is at centre left, with Acidalium at lower right. Maybe just a hint of the NPC . Winjupos simulation at lower right. Mars is at Ls 73 and 3.7” in size. I am hoping that this “embryo” image is the start of a memorable apparition for the Mars community. I am certainly looking forward to having Mars at 24” directly overhead from my location next July![Clyde Foster:Centurion,South Africa]
