Hi All,
In my original post I mentioned several well resolved features that I was unable to identify and that I had sort assistance from the B.A.A. Mars section and ALPO Mars section to do so.
Received replies from Roger Venable ( ALPO Mars section co-ordinator of observations) and Richard Mckim ( Director B.A.A. Mars section) regarding identification of some of the finer detail in the images that I have posted with this thread. I thought their comments may be of interest.
A quote from Roger Venable;
"The inverted 'V' to the north of Margaritifer is Oxia Palus, which forms the southern base of the 'V'; Indus, which forms the western (right) arm of the 'V' and is named after a river because it was once considered to be a Martian "canal;" and Oxus I, which forms the eastern (left) arm of the 'V,' and is also named after a river, like other "canals."
A quote from Richard McKim;
"Just to add to Roger the line of dark spots in S. Chryse will be a number of tiny but permanent spots recorded in Ebisawa's map (see that for names, downloadable from the BAA website). Oddly some of these were not seen prior to 1941."
Hope this is of some interest.
Regards
Trevor
