Note:
Uncomfortable observing position so drawing not good. SPC just visible and clear. NPH bright in blue light. MH and MC in Hesperia. Small EC over western Solis Lacus. Orographic cloud at Nix Olympica. No shadow in caldera or on evening slope, no way, no how. Opposition, Mars bright in 16" telescope and had to lean over too far to make good drawing!
