Mars UTC
CM1: 257.10°
CLat: -12.20°
Description
I decided to capture an IR photo part-way through our time with Mars. Seeing did not improve, but the IR filter cut through some of it.
Notes:
- Syrtis Major is rising.
- Mare Tyrrhenum is visible despite being hidden in RGB.
- Mare Cimmerium is under a thinner veil of dust, making it more visible.
- The south polar cap appears to have a hole.
