Hello Barry,
Could you please send this image to the CMO when you can? Seeing
at this UT was particularly good. Please note that the brightness stretching of
the SPC was reduced c.f. the rest of the planet to avoid excessive saturation.

Barry,
Could you please forward this image to the CMO when
possible? An interesting 'hazy' area just 'p' the SPC.

Could you please send this composite on to the CMO? I
managed to find a few more video files that were useable.

Dear Masatsugu
Thank you for the compliment about my 15th August image. I
am happy that it was of use to you. I have just now sent you another from the
same night covering the three different times I observed. With these I have
also included a ToUcam 'R' version showing the SPC for your interest; it
certainly appears to be changing rapidly now.
After a good spell of clear skies on the 15th, we now have
clouds & rain.. I hope that the weather will be
kind to all of us over the coming weeks, so that we can share a truly spectacular
closest approach of Mars for 2003!
It is outstanding that you have managed so many drawings in
less than two months - truly amazing Masatsugu! I do envy your clear nights and
applaud your diligence.
Best Regards
Maurice VALIMBERTI (
