I don't recognize those 5 vertical dark lines - could they be artifacts of some sort?

It is a simulator of Mars on this time. Compare and draw conclusions.

The main streak near the middle of the image appears to be a renewal of a feature called Hyblaeus Extension, a feature not always present but last opposition it was imaged here on CN:

I do not know if this is an IAU name, features do come and go on Mars, but this is a big one. I believe the original name was given by Chuck Capen.
Pete Lawrence also imaged it very well in 2007, just peruse his excellent images for reference.

Hi all! Thans for replies.
Here is the animation of 2 frames separated by 7 minutes. Now you all can see, some detales are artifacts but greater part of them are real. Or I hope so...

From left to right I read them as:
1) Alcyonius Nodus
2) Stymphalius Lacus
3) Propontis and extension
4) Nepenthes
5) Nilokeras or Idaeus Fons and Lunae Palus
