About this image

Hi all,

Attached is a drawing of Mars I made on 30th August using the University of Leicester's 20 inch Planewave Dall-Kirkham. Seeing was around AIII and there were a number of interesting features on the disk:

Solis Lacus present on the prec. side of the disk- lots of structure visible here.
It seemed as if there were bright clouds present in Argyre
Aurorae sinus also showed quite a bit of structure.
A vague streak present in the Ganges.
Mare Sirenum present on the following side of the disk.

Best wishes,

-Paul
