Mars, Sept. 26
Mars this morning with what is
becoming typical unsteady air; the combination of Mars receding and the low
altitude is really resulting in poor imaging for us here in

Mars, Sept. 27
Mars
from Sept 27 (UT) showing a high blue haze over Tharsis,
particularly evident in blue light.
Seeing continues difficult but early observing revealed some interesting
detail. Beautiful SPC
at this longitude.

Re: Mars
Images
Absolutely stunning images, Don. The dark feature was there on Sept. 28 (UT)
in an image that I obtained but have not posted yet; when I processed the image
from the raw data and saved it for later work, I
assumed that the dark "spot" was an artifact from the webcam I was
using. I will dig this up and post it
tonight.....if I remember right, this appeared very much like a linear streak,
running SW to NE.

Mars and blue haze over Solis Lacus SCr03Oct03.jpg
Mars, showing a high blue haze on the
eastern terminator (upper right) which appears to be perhaps centered over the
Solis Lacus region.
Note the particular intensity of this haze/cloud in both blue and green
light. Imaged in poor and very unsteady
conditions, Mars low in SE sky.
