Description

Yesterday evening we had another beautiful (and freezing cold) evening, and so I gave it another try. Again good seeing! On the left the result from 20:45 UTC, only a few minutes earlier than the one from the 9th of december.
- Its clear that Mars his rotation is nearly that of our planet, after 2 days we see more or less the same side, about 2 hours shifted. The Marineris valley is now better in sight.
- Around the north pole you can clearly see more clouds 3 days later
- The Icaria area should be visible on the souther hemisphere west, but there is a clould cover over it. You can see it from the grey-blue haze.
