Description

The night started out with excellent seeing!

Notes:

The entire planet is shrouded by the dust storm.
Syrtis Major is past the central meridian.
Hellas Basin and the surrounding area appear to be obscured by a completely opaque cloud of dust.
Several marking are visible on the south polar cap.
