Mars in poor conditions.

Not much to write home about, but it's fun anyway.

Here's one from Brizzy taken around midnight last night.

Altitude was still pretty low but I didn't have a lot of choice with cloud rolling in from the east.

Apart from the low altitude (between 20 and 25 degrees, I think?) the seeing wasn't good at this stage. Had been a lot better an hour or two before.

Them's the breaks!

As far as I can tell, the major features are Niliacus Lacus, Aurorae Sinus, Margaritifer Sinus, and Mare Erythraeum.

Taken with the ToUcam Pro II, btw. Tried capturing a few with the DMK but the seeing meant there wasn't much difference.

Not sure what the funny white 'haze' is stretching from the NPH all the way to the south pole?? Atmospheric haze perhaps? Or capture/processing artefacts?

Matt, that shot is not too bad. The fact that you were up in the wee small hours trying to capture it is a great effort
