R and RLP remain decent. The B was extremely low contrast, likely due to light cloud that I noticed as I closed up at the end of the session (still well before sunset). As a result the RGB may be somewhat inaccurate, but I include for aesthetic reasons.
Syrtis Major is on the right limb with Mare Cimmerium/Tritonis Sinus above centre. Hesperia and Syrtis Minor are to the upper right. Boreosyrtis (lower right) and Utopia are across the bottom, separated by the light Umbra. Elysium is to the left of centre.
As mentioned above, the RGB may be inaccurate due to the poor B, and I am wondering if the RLP/R don’t hint at the appearance of the SP Hood. But I certainly cannot be sure.
