Mars in IR + animation. Morning of Jan 18th
Hi All,
The seeing this morning for Mars was pretty crook with very strong gusty winds and little assistance from the jetstream, however, I was able to capture some IR 807+nm images that have some detail.
Have attached a labeled IR image. I am pleased that as bad as the seeing was, the inverted "V" extending north from Oxia Palus is fairly well defined and I have labeled the legs of the "V" which are named after rivers from the time when it was thought they may be canals.
Have also attached an animation of 4 IR images acquired at approx 30 min intervals that came up a lot better than I expected.
Hoping for an improvement in seeing for tomorrow morning.
Thanks for looking.
Regards
Trevor
