High-resolution imagers take note! If you have clear skies and steady seeing, get up early for Mars and try to capture the dust storm!

Received this email from a Mars observers group that I contribute to.



I won't get clear skies until Friday at the earliest - I'll be trying after that.

See this page for an example (http://www.msss.com/mars_images/moc/2003/10/24/) of a previous Noachis dust storm in October 2003 and an explanation of what they are.
