Mars UTC
CM1: 284.90°
CLat: -12.70°
Description
Seeing was very good. Just like Saturn, this was our first night imaging Mars with the C14 EdgeHD
Notes:
- The NPH is peeking over the limb.
- Sinus Meridiani is rising, with part of it being completely obscured by airborne dust.
- Syrtis Major is at the CM.
- An especially thick cloud of dust is obscuring Hellas Basin and the surrounding area.
- The SPC is partly obscured by airborne dust.
