解説（安達）/ Comment by Makoto Adachi
　Clyde Foster氏はHellasの白雲が南半分だけになっている様子を記録した。いよいよ白雲が切れて南極冠の見える時期が近づいてきたようだ。
大杉氏はArbaにかかる山岳雲をとらえている。

Mr. Clyde Foster recorded that Hellas' white clouds were only half south. It seems time has come when the white clouds are about to
 expire and the time to see the SPC is approaching. Mr. Osugi captures mountain clouds for Arba.

I am afraid my imaging schedule has been heavily impacted over the last 5 weeks
as I spent substantial time at the bedside of my Dad(92)
who peacefully slipped away from us on Monday.
It was he who nurtured my early interest in astronomy and bought me
my first small refractor when I was about 9 years old,living in Scotland.
I've got nothing but gratitude and appreciation for
all he did for me and my family- he will be sorely missed.
I returned home on Thursday and managed to catch Mars under average conditions
yesterday morning,with the Hellas Basin again showing some interesting features.
Possibly some dust in the right of the basin,and bright cloud or ice upper left.
