Mars iamge an animation 12-21-09

Hey guys. Not excellent seeing, not even very good, but the best I've had in awhile. Caught a nice orograpic cloud over Olympus Mons. There is a bright patch on the edge of the NPC that is interesting. Confirmed in other images and the animation I'm including, which is 3 frames, over 15 minutes. Not much rotation in that time span, like you would have on Jupiter. The NPC is rapidly shrinking now, or actually sublimating, causing all that haze you can see around it. Another volcano, Elysium Mons, is very bright on the morning limb.
