Mars 2018-08-17 04:59 UTC

Description
Conditions remained excellent as I wrapped up the night with this Mars photo.

Notes:
Sinus Meridiani is rising and reaches the central meridian.
Syrtis Major and Hellas Basin are just past the central meridian.
The South Polar Cap appears to have uneven edges.
