NOTE: Edom bright in red light, even with extensive haze in Moab. Argyre appears normal, but some brightening in eastern Noachis. Oxia P. again prominent. Meridiani S. and Sabaeus S. dark as is Pandorae Fr. Deucalionis R., however, is dusky.
SPC tiny, bright. Bright evening limb haze persists, merging into large NP Hood.
