Martian Images taken 10 July 2003 by Yukio MORITA

  λ=219゚Ls,   (ω=294~314°W,   φ=21°S),   δ=18.3",   ι=34°
  Seeing: 3~4 /10.

Note:
  The area where the dust storm occurred on 4 July turned out to be quite darkened and it is as if Mare Serpentis has been widened. Hellas looks normal: Its western edge is light as usual and the ES corner is also light. Novus Mons is apparent still inside the SPC.

Instrument:
Use is made of an f /7.7 Newtonian extended to f /50 having a 25 cm speculum equipped with an ST-5C (at -5゚C).
