Hi all,
Here are my first Mars images since February. The altitude
is low (25 degs) and conditions are very difficult,
but the resulting images do reveal the albedo
markings clearly. Sinus Meridiani is prominent, as is the pointed Oxia Palus.
Maybe better when the weather improves...
Best Wishes,

Hi all,
Here are some more Mars images from this morning. Not so
many clouds allowed me to take a bit more time over everything!. The seeing was fair at 25 degrees this morning, and
visually the surface details were quite well defined.
The images show Sinus Meridiani showing its fork like
appearance. Also the SPC shows Rima Australis, and
also Argenteus Mons and Novus Mons.
