Description

Another set of five WinJupos de rotated B-Channel Mars images.

Took on 23 04, from 00:50 to 01:43 UTC. Some 13 images, compiled in groups of three closest ones using WinJupos, to try to get a better S/N ratio, since the seeing went downhill very fast. Clouds coming, the latter images were worse.

Still observing and following the evolution of the circumpolar clouds, at left of the NPC, sometimes it looks as if it is forming a cyclone-like appearance, but never get to image it from "above", just at the limb of Mars, so it may be just an unusually dense cloud front, not a cyclone, after all.

C11, f/25, Grasshopper camera.
