Hi all,
We've had some very good weather conditions of late with reasonable seeing. My 12" Newtonian has provided some stunning views of Mars. Solis Lacus seems to be very well defined, I also thought Ophir was particularly bright with a bright streak in Candor next to Ganges. White clouds have been present over the volcanoes and on the limb.
First, an observation made on 9th-10th September, I was surprised to see brilliant white clouds over Arsia Mons!
On 13-14 September I had excellent views of Solis Lacus and the surrounding deserts:
Last night (14th September) I was able to study the Mare Erythraeum which showed considerable structure:
Best wishes,
