Nice work. I would like to have a copy of this video and your other Mars images by email... my address is in the back of the Journal. It was certainly an impressive event with a disappearance and reappearance at a bright limb.

Richard,

Thanks for the reminder.

I will email you what I have when I have finished processing. Still some work to do.

Thanks

Steve
