Seeing fair (5-6, Pickering) Transparency good (5m) with cloud bands. ENE-ESE wind, 0-6 kts. Altitude = 37 degrees. No dew.
VERY bright dust cloud over eastern Daedalia-Claritas, approx. 10-30 deg S, 124-145 deg W. In addition, anomalous albedo feature (~20-35 deg S, ~ 125- 145 deg W) in western Daedalia. Will this persist like the Dadalia-Claritas darkening of 1973? This appears to follow the course of Araxes.
Olympus Mons, Arsia, and Ascraeus vivible and very prominent in green light.
Note dark features along western borders of dust cloud -- ?shadows?
