Description
Seeing worsened a bit. Saharan dust limited transparency. Shortly after this photo, low clouds came in from the south, cutting off the opportunity to photograph Mars.
Notes:
- The north polar hexagon is resolved.
- The northern storm is stretched across the visible hemisphere of the planet. The storm appears to have two cores.
