Seeing fair (5-6, Pickering) but very poor conditions due to poor transparency 0-5m), froquent clouds and strong gusty winds (NE 2-11 kts). Altitude = 37 degrees. No dew.

Dust persists, but albedo features appear stronger. Cimmerium and Sirenum Maria visible. Much obscuration in the north, however. Elysium and environs (Trivium, Phlegra, Propontis) not visible. Bright PM limb arc extending over SPR. NP hood not visible.
