Taken under fair seeing but poor transparency.

An afternoon orographic cloud is seen over Elysium.

Thin blue-white clouds are present at high southern latitudes. The NPC is getting smaller.

Seeing was again poor with a temporary period of stabilization allowing a decent RGB. Syrtis Major central.

Some faint limb clouds, and maybe a thin mixed dust cloud south of the NP along the southern edge of Umbra- Dioscuria?

Dear Martin

Many thanks. I did see them posted on the BAA images site, but I do prefer having them sent to me. You are the 66th observer, and basically that is the reason! However, you are not 66th in order of precedence for taking splendid images! The latest images submitted are described in yesterday's blog update.

I am hoping to get out again tonight. On the 7th I was able to see the shadow transit of Titan.

All the best

Hi,

My first Mars images of the apparition with finally some good weather last week.

Straight one-shot-colour and IR(sG)B images using 642nm IR as the red channel.

Hopefully more data to come tomorrow night.

Hi all,

Here is an image from January 3rd. Despite having to replace and set-up a new mount before this session (the old one failed the day before) and also having to go out and replace the hairdryer mid observing session (the old one caught fire!) i managed to get my best result of the current apparition. A big thanks to Ian Sharp for his help in getting back up and running quickly!

The Chryse hemisphere is on view. One particularly interesting detail here are the prominent clouds above Meridiani at far right on the terminator.

These images an hour apart reveal extensive evening cloud activity including the orographics over the Tharsis volcanoes.

A thin horizontal band runs south of the NPC from Alba towards Propontis where it meets a denser diagonal cloud near the morning limb..... mixed dust cloud?

A dark streak is noted on the NPC near its eastern edge.

Hi all,
A bit late but here is a set from december 19th taken under fair seeing.
A dust front is active over the polar cap (this looks to be a quite frequent activity currently), giving the so-called "Rima Tenuis effect".
Although there is none there, a few terminator or beyond terminator clouds have been imaged over the past weeks, so please check your data and do not mask the terminator during processing :)

Happy New Year for everyone
