Mars with a bump, 08 Mar (UT)

[Stefan Buda]

I nearly gave up on the imaging this morning, as the seeing was so unsteady, but eventually it settled down enough to produce this image. The bump on the north-western limb (high level cloud?) appears less blue than the evening limb haze further south. Location seems to be over Diacria, just northwest of Propontis I. Also Hellas is incredibly bright.

Lovely blue Hellas, still a good level of detail producing a handsome image. Variable seeing is a pain as you have to baby sit the live image until a better more hopeful spell of seeing materialises.
