A nice result for poor seeing, and with the bad weather we are having, even images in less perfect conditions are useful. Please do send your Mars images to the Section, using the email for the Director given in the back of the Journal. You can see the bright north hood, which will soon give way to the ground cap. There are signs of evening cloud just south of the equator.
