Martian Dust Storm

Hi all

Despite the poor seeing I've experiences and a sadly missed opportunity of excellent seeing on the 26th, here are some rough images showing Mars and an associated dust storm on the 25th and 27th - if any of you are interested!?!?. You'll note a large bright strip that appears to curve from around mid disc south (to the west of Margaritifier around Solis Lacus.) Cleary it was a large but only short lived event since it is virtually non-apparent in the image from the 27th. If any of you have images also from these days (especially the 26th) it would be good to see them.

--sorry folks.. images won't upload for some reason so I'll post on my home site.http://members.optushome.com.au/ssmassey/mars.html

Indeed. I was very lucky to get the images I did in 2001 only days before the major storm errupted

Thanks Beren and Atlas. It's also great to see other members like Robert chasing this stuff down down too. God knows we need some better weather here!

I never get enough of your images Steve.
When I need a pick-me-up after a bad night or lousy weather I check out your work.

Thanks for sharing mate.

Cheers.
