Description

Mars is back in Capricornus and displaying volcano hemisphere one hour after sunset. In a spooky twist of fate seeing reached its peak for this 3 minute capture (taken at 9:11 UTC on 9/11/18).

It's interesting to see how much redder Olympus Mons and Tharsis look compared to Elysium (emerging on the terminator). Solis Lacus is seen rotating out of view in the west with Mare Sirenum stretching eastward. Glad the weather gods are cooperating for the apparition tail end.
