Drawings made by Hiroshi ISHADOH on 25 June 2001 (184°Ls) at LCM=279, 289, 301, 311°W by the use of a Newtonian having a 31 cm speculum at magnification 400, 530x. The Observation Site was at Shuri, Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture. The night, Seeing: 6/10 and Transparency: 4~5/5.

ISHADOH started from 13:20 GMT at LCM=269°W and observed six times the night until 16:50 GMT at LCM=320°W.

ISHADOH noted that the southern dark markings were faint due to a dusty atmosphere, and also it was hard to see the detail inside Hellas. There was seen a light small area adjacent to the northern border of Hellas (as seen at LCM= 301°W). The Hesperia area became quite dusty and diffused as it rotated to the evening limb.
