Dear Masatsugu : Maurice last's image is certainly one of the best ever taken, to my opinion. The morning haze (Solis Lacus is obscured) and the NPH are very nicely shot !

Hello everyone : last night my sky was still hazy but the seeing was quite good. The fair transparency has ruined a bit the first G and B images ! There are still white clouds other the afternoon Tharsis. In the SPC the Thyles Mons are prominent. Exactly like in Antoniadi's map of the springtime SPC...

Hello everyone : here is the latest. The transparency is still going poor/fair but the seeing was a bit better than on the previous days ! Hopefully the clouds here will wash a bit the atmosphere. Again, some white clouds other Tharsis.

Cher Masatsugu : un grand merci pour me souhaiter ma fête !  Il me semble hélas que cela ne doive pas me porter chance pour Mars : le seeing ici est le plus mauvais que j'ai vu depuis le mois de mars. Peut-être que dans les prochains jours...

 

Sincerely to all,

Christophe

Dear all: the sun shines again here but the seeing at night is atrocious. The images are OK, though. The excellent transparency has however allowed me to take a good B image (apart of the bad seeing). The morning mist is well visible, as the Argenteus Mons and Novissima Thyle in the SPC.

Hi all, these days a friend of mine kindly allows me to use his CN212 - so I can make images with a more powerful instrument. Last night, the seeing recovered to fairly good - here are the images. Novissima Thyle looks completely separated from the cap now. What interested me more are the clouds over Acidalium: the NPH is prominent in blue, but even the IR image seems to show a streak of clouds, so maybe there is a few dust with the white clouds.

Hi all: again poor seeing last night. There has been a correct moment however when I used the RG610 filter. It's interesting to note a very conspicuous morning haze over Solis Lacus and Tharsis; and still a dust streak on Mare Acidalium.
