Dear Masatsugu,
tonight I had Problems with my Laptopp,
so I can send only 1 Picture, taken at 0:40 GMT.
After proceeding at home I found a
very bright spot in
λ=230°Ls, (ω= 266°W, φ=20°S),δ= 21,44", ι=26°
best regards

I told a Friend about my computer
Problems and he fixed them. Now I can proceed my other
Pictures, but first I have to see, which Data are lost and which he could
restore. I am too tiered, to do it now. I will do it tomorrow...

poor when you shot?
Yes, the air was very turbulent and
with naked eye Mars was not clear, it was to close to the horizon and the
stones on our observing place were still hand warm. It was the first series I
took, to judge the air quality. Mars diameter is growing stronger than its
brightness and so I have the Problem that my exposure time with the Webcam is too short and I got some moiree-figures
on the screen until 0:40 or
Better seeing was 1 hour later and I
saw at the computer display

My data from the next picture are

Dear Masatsugu,
Yesterday was terrible seeing, so I
could take only these two pictures:
λ=231°Ls, (ω= 220°W, 245°W , φ=20°S), δ= 22,35 - 22,36", ι=22,91°
This is the first time,
that I tried to separate the color channels...

Dear Masatsugu,
since 30.7. I send you every day pictures, but I got no
response and the pictures were not at the cmo page. Did you get my emails? What
happened?
If you did not reach them, I can
send the pictures again...

Can you mark the spot? I have
problems to identify lots of small (or even big) structures, I never heard
about Thyles Mons. Is it a Mountain at the spc?
Remember, this is my first Marsobserving time and we
have not the necessary Mars maps at the Observatory. Also I am the only person,
who observes Mars in this intensity at our Observatory and the other Observers
call me now "our Marsexpert"!!! But I don’t
feel as an expert. I am just a "Beginner" and can’t ask anybody here
at the Observatory...
I tried to find some Marsmaps at the internet, but I was not really successful.
I found some maps, but they show only the big albedo structures
with names, and their orientation is to the Northpole,
so the Southpolecap is not on the maps...
Can you tell me an
URL, where I can find a good map?

I try it, but we have trouble with
clouds. During daytime it was very hot - so hot, that I give 12 big bottles of
my private mineral water to the 22 children, which visited our Observatory
during three hours at the afternoon in our children-holiday-programme...
Later on sundown clouds were coming
and we had a very romantic colored sundown. During our public observation-time
we had 88 persons at the Observatory and they stayed until
Everybody is waiting for a
thunderstorm, to cool down the atmosphere and to clear it. Our air comes the
long long way from Atlantik
coast in
Now I am sitting alone at the
Observatory terrace and write this email, because the sky is clouded. I can
send the email only from home, here I can not go to the Internet - we have no
Connection, because our "director" thinks, the stuff would look to
sex-sites during night :-((... and he is afraid about the costs and "our
good name".....
(poor man,
poor Observatory...)

Dear Masatsugu,
tonight the conditions have been better, so I could take Mars
pictures in "normal" 20 minutes time difference. Seeing and transparency were better than yesterday, but we have still
some thin clouds...
