Another pre-sunset image set from yesterday afternoon. The general trend of reasonable RLP and R, "so-so" G and poor B continues. The B likely negatively affected by the altitude, build up of light afternoon cloud and lower transparency due to wildfires at this time of year.
Mare Cimmerium is across the top, with Hesperia at upper right. Unfortunately I could not pick out the Sinus Gomer extensions.
Light(RLP/R) Elysium is just to the left of centre.  Trivium Charontis and Cerebus may be detected.
I was pleased to see the familiar Amazonian giant "?" to the left of Elysium, best seen in the RLP
Propontis I is to the lower left of Elysium.
Propontis II,  Stymphalius L, Gyndes, Sithonius L, Panchaia, and Utopia are across the bottom.
