Description

Stepping outside and feeling the cold air, I immediately saw a meteor heading south between Mars and Antares. I had decent seeing and excellent transparency while imaging the red planet.

Notes:

    [li]Orographic clouds are covering Olympus Mons and Pavonis Mons.[/li]

    [li]The South Polar Cap is emerging from winter. It will shrink significantly as Mars approaches opposition.[/li]
