NOTE: Meridiani Sinus now largely obscured by dust. Sabaeus S. thin. Arabia-Moab very bright. Syrtis Major seen through PM limb haze, well seen visually earlier at 0200 UT. Limb haze does not appear to be rotating. Deucalionis very yellowish. A cloud appears to partially cover Serpentis M. Oxia P. very weak compared to previous nights. Is this a separate storm originating in Deucalionis-Edom?
