Mars UTC
CM1: 326.60°
CLat: -24.80°
Description
Imaging Mars is becoming more difficult as it recedes from Earth. Poor seeing didn't help either.
Notes:
- Sinus Meridiani is emerging from the night side.
- Syrtis Major and Hellas Basin are about to set.
- The south polar cap is about as small as it can get.
