Notes:
Left Image 02:15 U.T. (CM 183.7, IL/W30): The South Polar Cap (SPC) appeared over the southern limb as a thin, brilliant (10/10) oval (not as readily visible from this longitude). Mare Australe and Mare Chronium appeared dark to dull (3-5/10) and mottled. Phaethontis appeared bright (7/10). Electris and Eridania wee also bright (7/10) but appeared to be mildly yellow-mustard tinged (dust?). Mare Sirenum appeared dark (3/10) and mottled. Mare Cimmerium appeared dark to dusky (3-4/10) and mottled as well. "Valhalla" appeared as a diffuse, dull (5/10) band north of Mare Cimmerium. Zephyria and Aeolis appeared bright to very bright (7-8/10) north of Mare Cimmerium as well (water vapor cloud vs. dust). Memnonia, Zephyria, Aeolis, Aethiopis, and Aetheria appeared bright (7/10). Elysium appeared shaded to bright (6-7/10) preceding the CM. Phlegra appeared dusky to dull (4-5/10). The Hyblaeus Extension appeared dark to dull (3-5/10) and mottled following Elysium. Utopia appeared dusky to dull (4-5/10) following the CM. An extremely bright (9/10) evening limb haze (ELH) and morning limb haze (MLH) were noted. An extremely bright (9/10) North Polar Limb (or Hood?) was noted as well.

Right image 02:50U.T. (CM 192.2, W38A): Mare Sirenum and Mare Cimmerium were dull (5/10) preceding and following the CM, respectively. Bright to very bright (7-8/10) clouds were noted over Phaethontis, Electris, Eridania, Zephyria, and Aeolis. Extremely bright (9/10) evening limb haze (ELH), morning limb haze (MLH), North polar limb, and South polar limb were noted.
