Had a peek last night at Mars, 1310-1340 UT.

The dust seems to be clearing...

I could see Syrtis Major, Sinus Sabaeus, Mare Hadriaticum and they almost seemed as dark as formerly (as seen with a red W25 filter).

The belt around the shrinking south polar cap was less dark and Hellas was outlined clearly, though without its customary cloudy haze. The white haze may have been coloured by the dust storm particles remaining in the atmosphere.
