Description

At last! Some clearing here allowed imaging big Mars, just some 48 h after opposition.

SCT11", f/40, ASI224MC Cooled. North up, preceding limb to the right

Seeing was pretty bad at the moment, another incoming cold front.

Olympus mons and its orogenic clouds are leaving at the preceding limb, very cloudy indeed.

A chevron like cloud front up north, over Arcadia, and a very cloudy South pole region, covering most of Promethei Terra.

Animations to follow.
