From Nicolas BIVER
@. . . . . During the last days I missed some of the
best (weather wise) opportunities to observe Mars, but still got some
acceptable opportunities. Here are drawings made at the time Syrtis Major was
the main feature to look for, but it seems to me that its northern part is not
well defined or might still be obscured by dust? Other dark features (M Cimmerium, Tyrrhenum,...) seem back to
quasi normal shape and contrast. The South Polar Cap looks shifted towards
higher CML (~ 30) as it was a little on that side on the 21st and not
confidently seen on the 24th
(Could it also be some dust cloud effect?).

opportunities to observe Mars last Week-End from
