解説（安達）/ Comment by Makoto Adachi Clyde Foster氏の観測が寄せられた。非常によく撮れていて驚いた。視直径は4秒台であるから驚きだ。 今は、低緯度地方に氷晶雲が顕著な時期に当たるため、画像でもはっきり記録されている。南の縁に見られる白雲はアルギレ(Argyre;30W,-50 ) 盆地に発生した雲である。南極付近はターミネーター付近に小さな霧が見られるが、これもこの時期によく出るものだ。 北半球ではテンペ(Tempe;50W~90W,+45)東部に明るい部分が見られるが、これは地肌のようだ。NPCらしき白斑があるがNPCか 上空の雲かはわからない。 Mr. Clyde Foster's observations were received. I was surprised to be able to shoot very well. I am surprised because the visual diameter is in the order of 4 seconds. Now it is clearly recorded in the image because the water ice cloud is in a remarkable period in the low latitudes. The white cloud on the southern margin is a cloud that originated in the Argyre (30W, -50) basin. A small fog can be seen near the terminator near the Antarctic, which is also common at this time. In the northern hemisphere, there is a bright part in the eastern part of Tempe (50W ~ 90W, + 45), which looks like a scalp. There is a white spot that seems to be NPC, but it is not known whether it is NPC or a cloud above. （by 1 observation; reported by Makoto Adachi) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am back in action after a wonderful roadtrip to Namibia over the festive season and wishing everyone a very happy New Year. My first Mars full image set for the 2020 apparition, captured this morning. M Acidalium and Chryse can be seen at lower left. The NPC may just be detected at bottom, and I suspect that a frosted Argyre may be seen at top. There seems to be quite a bit of discrete clouds visible. RGB resized 1.5x. Always a bit of a challenge getting the layout reasonable with Mars still small.[Clyde Foster:Centurion,South Africa]
