Notes:
Left Image 06:30 U.T. (IL/W30): The South Polar Cap (SPC) appeared very small but brilliant (10/10) and surrounded by a dark (3/10) collar (Mare Australe). Mare Cimmerium was prominent (3-4/10) and mottled preceding the CM with Tritonis Sinus on the CM itself. A section of "Valhalla" was visible (5/10) to the north of Mare Cimmerium towards the preceding limb. Scamander was visible along the southern border of Mare Cimmerium (it's base (Scamandri Sinus) was darker (3/10) compared to the rest of the feature (4-5/10)). Electris, Eridania, and Ausonia appeared shaded to bright (6-7/10) and finely mottled. Mare Chronium appeared dusky (4/10) along the CM towards the south. Hesperia appeared as a bright to very bright (7-8/10) angled wedge on the CM between Mare Cimmerium and Mare Tyrrhenum (3-4/10). Syrtis Minor was visible as a dark (3/10) wedge following the CM. Mare Hadriacum was visible as a dusky to dark (3-4/10) eastern (preceding) border of a very bright to brilliant (8-9/10) Hellas. Iapygia Viridis was visible (4/10) adjacent to an extremely bright (9/10) morning limb haze (MLH). Syrtis Major appeared as a dark (3/10) wedge adjacent to the MLH. Moeris Lacus (4-5/10) was visible projecting from the preceding (eastern) border of Syrtis Major. Libya appeared very bright (8/10) possibly due to clouds or haze. Aeolis, Aethiopis, and Aetheria appeared bright (7/10). Elysium was very bright to extremely bright (8-9/10) along the north-preceding limb. Pambotis Lacus (3/10), Eunostos (4/10), and the Hyblaeus Extension (3-4/10) were visible along the following border of Elysium. Nodus Alcyonius was visible as a dark (3/10) oval following the CM. Utopia was partially visible (4/10) south an extremely bright (9/10) North Polar Hood (NPH). An extremely bright (9/10) evening limb haze (ELH) was visible as well.

Right Image 06:50 U.T. (Wratten 38): The South Polar Cap (SPC) appeared brilliant (10/10). Mare Cimmerium and Mare Tyrrhenum were visibly dull (5/10) with little other detail towards the center of the disk. Syrtis Major was visible as a dull (5/10) projection towards the following limb. Libya appeared very bright (8/10). Hesperia appeared as a thin, bright (7/10) wedge just preceding the CM. Hellas appeared very bright to extremely bright (8-9/10) with very bright (8/10) projections extending from it's preceding border over Ausonia. Extremely bright (9/10) morning and evening limb hazes (MLH and ELH) were visible. the North Polar Hood (NPH) appeared extremely bright (9/10) as well.
