MAKSYMOWICZ, Stanislas
2 May 2006 (λ=047°Ls, ι=31°)
19:50~20:40 GMT (ω=223°, 230°W, φ=07°N)
15cm refractor (f/6.6),   270×
(Note):
SPH: on a brighter area than northen closed features, less prominent than past,
NPH: a slightly bright area circled by a darkened boundary: seems white.
Bright area (hazing) at sunset and sun rise limbs: on Syrtis Major, on Tharsis/ Amazonia area
Hellas area is clear.
Still equatorial hazing activity (80A filter)? Difficult to say due to quality images.
Seeing conditions were good to average only (stable Airy disk but broken rings).
H loc = UT + 2H.
All drawings are done with a 152mm refractor and a 90° diagonal.
Ecquevilly, France
