In all my images from this night, we have 2 slight bulges/bumps on the limb. Can't be an aligning/stacking or processing errors, as I've tried different ways of doing all three..
I take it you are referring to the bumps at positions 6 o'clock and just after 2 o'clock. Hmm, hadn't noticed that until you point it out.

According to my Mars Mini Globe (TM) There are no elevated features at those positions. 6 o'clock is the top edge of Daedalia Planum. 2 o'clock is the left edge of Arabia Terra.

If I sqint, 2 o'clock could be clouds -- is the bump pronounced in the B channel?

6 o'clock doesn't look like clouds to me at all. It has me beat.

I wonder if anyone else has any suggestions?
