Mars UTC
CM1: 202.90°
CLat: -11.60°
Description
Seeing and transparency was excellent. The ASI224MC doesn't seem to pick up blue as well as the ASI290MM and filters.
Notes:
- Mare Cimmerium is visible under the global dust storm.
- The South Polar Cap is covered by the dust storm.
- The SPC on visible hemisphere has a dark center with a brighter perimeter.
