-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was able to catch a follow up observation of yesterday’s apparent dust activity over the Zephyria/Aeolis region.
The CM is almost exactly the same as yesterday(160 today against 162 yesterday).
The yellowish clouds are not as condensed,or as obvious as yesterday,but are still detectable.
Not unexpectedly for these localised storms,they appear to be expanding and dissipating.
They also appear to have drifted eastwards (to the left) towards the Mesogea area.
Bright cloud remains over Olympus Mons and the Tharsis Montes.

Some moments of very good seeing this session gave the best result so far this apparition. 
The angular size is still only 5.7" here.
Syrtis Major and Hellas are nicely seen. The SPC is also nicely resolved. 
Its interesting how faded Nodus Alcyonius has become following last apparitions storms. 
It looks as weak as ive ever seen it.
