@･････Here
are my latest images of Mars on 6-4-2001.
A Martian flare watch in Edom Promontorium around 5:15 UT. The
seeing was below average at 3 on the ALPO scale. It seems that I have captured
a small brightening in that region at 5:16
UT. I am not very sure.
I hope many of you have observed at the same time as I did. Please,
e-mail me if you have seen anything or not. As of now, I haven't heard anything
yet. Ed Grafton had captured a small white spot in the same region a few nights
earlier.

@･････In
reference to Edom brightening, I'm not too sure if I have captured a possible
"slightly" brightening in Edom in early Monday morning June 4th at
5:16 UT. It appeared little brighter in one image at 5:16 UT but not
in others. Nicolas Biver of France e-mailed
to me and he had seen the same thing as I did a few nights earlier. Richard
Mckim of BAA also said "but Edom appears
normal as a white patch throughout the season".
Now I am wondering if Don Parker and his team
videotaped for that morning on June 4th at 5:16
UT.
It is going
to be clear tonight in New
York. I am willing to image any
possible further brightening in Edom. What
we're hoping for is a flare not 'just a brightening'. Can anyone tell me what
time it suppose to occur on June 9th UT and for the US east
coast? I would appreciate that. Many thanks to you.
