Hi All,
I have attached some Mars images
from 19 August (this time with proper color correction!). In addition there are
some images taken by Sheldon Faworski with my Mewlon and a
ToUCam (18 August
& 19
August). The 17 August images have been resubmitted, since the times and CMs were in error.

Hi All,
I have attached some Mars images
from 13 August
and 17
August. These had been sent before, but the color balance on my monitor had
changed, most likely due to a power surge, making the images pink. A pretty
color, but not for Mars! Sorry for the trouble.
Best,
Don
