解説(安達)/ Comment by Makoto Adachi
After a few mornings of cloud, it was nice to see Venus and Mars beautifully, and closely, aligned in the predawn sky this morning. Although Mars was at 20 deg altitude, the conditions were not bad, and gave me my best view so far this year.
Syrtis Major is prominent at lower left, with S Sabeaus and S Meridiani extending to the right of centre. Maybe a hint of Osidiris extending off the left side of Syrtis Major in the R.
Hellas is to the upper left and appears to be clear of any significant cloud and ice, although the R and G do show some lightening in the far south (not sure, but could be processing artefact).
But nice to see a familiar face again!
