The Mt. of Michell area on the South Polar Cap was very extended
and almost detached from the rest of the SPC. The following side of the
SPC is gray and very mottled in texture. Much detail across the rest of
the surface, but not very much apparent detail in the north. Pretty
quick drawing made just before the planet moved behind a tree. Observing
session in company with Washington Post reporter. 20-inch stopped down
to 17-inches.
