Mars UTC
CM1: 230.40°
CLat: -12.10°
Description
Seeing started out good as we turned our attention from Saturn to Mars.
Notes:
- Syrtis Major and Hellas Basin are rising.
- Mare Cimmerium appears to be covered by less dust than surrounding areas.
- The South Polar Cap appears muted by the dust storm.
- Most of the SPC also appears to be darkened.
