Seeing was pretty variable last night ranging from 2/10 to around 6.5. When this image was taken high winds had started (and the seeing improved) and the PME even struggled to keep the planet on the sensor. the CGE mount would have not copped with this type of wind at all. This was the first time I had seen good seeing in high wind. Despite the planet moving around the entire sensor the image remained reasonably sharp. In Adelaide high winds means go to bed.
Of interest in this image is the presence of Valles Marineris which is lower center. I have wanted to capture this feature on Mars ever since I first imaged Mars in 2005. Also you can see Tharis volcanoes just coming into view on the lower left with lots of high blue cloud between them and Olympus Mons (which would be right on the limb edge but not visible). The NPC is also quite small now but very pronounced.
