Hi all,

My only output this morning was this IR of Mars where I had to be selective with the data.

There is a strong Jetstream currently over Namibia, and may have been a contributing factor to the poor seeing.

A pity as the view covers the Tharsis region, and I was interested to check for any sign of Arsia Mons cloud.

Mare Sirenum is towards upper right, with Solis Lacus just coming into view at upper left. Olympus Mons may just be made out near lower centre.

Hi all,

There appears to be a small bright spot, most noticeable in the R, in the Propontis I region (lower centre).

Regrettably I have a commitment early tomorrow morning, so I will be unable to image.

Hi all,

The good conditions I had for Saturn continued as I moved onto Mars, giving me a nice view looking down on Syrtis Major and Hellas.

The B data was some of the best I have had so far this apparition and I believe there is a hint of cloud in the far north. This also allowed my to try an alternative colour process for the RGB, which I consider to be a bit simpler.

Hi all,

Having just returned from an amazing 2 day/night trip to the top of the nearby Gamsberg mountain (-7 deg C, -11 with windchill!),

I was met by very strong Jetstream conditions this morning.

I limited myself to a series of IR’s , with the planet close to 0 deg longitude.
