解説（安達）/ Comment by Makoto Adachi

The jet stream had eased off a bit this morning,
and it was a nice imaging session as I kept an eye on the lunar eclipse as it progressed towards sunrise,
reaching totality just as it dropped below the neighbour's garage roof.
The ripples in the NEBs are quite noticeable.

After the cloud abated, I was able to make a run (RGB) on Mars, my first for this apparition. The seeing was fair.〓
This north up view shows Syrtis Major and the Hellas Basin rotating into view. 
The latter is bright and relatively clear, unlike the early days of the 2020 apparition. 
Mare Tyrrhenium and Hesperia Planum are quite central, with Mare Cimmerium on the terminator. 
Under better seeing conditions Sinus Gomer may have been visible.
As noted by others the South Polar Cap (SPC) has quite a dark area.
