Good detail in those images Freddy, both of the clouds and the surface.

Definitely a superb view of Olympus Mons. Orbiter photos show the caldera is slightly left of the centre of the shield, and there is a notch in the RHS of the shield (north pole down), both details which your image shows!

Fantastic stuff for a ground based image.

Lovely work Freddy
I have been looking at some pic's of Olympus Mons, and wonder if it is the caldera or the dark colouring surrounding the calderawe are seeing
