Seeing generally poor (3 Pickering) initially but improved (7) late. Transparency 4 m, frequent clouds.
Wind NE 6-12 kts. Altitude = 47-48°. No dew.

Note:
Violet Clearing = 1+ visually and on CCD blue images. Cloud band SE of NP Hood on 8 Sept now barely detectable. AM limb clouds -- non-rotating.
Note: Floor of Hellas has changed; normal albedo features (Zea Lacus, Peneus, etc.) no longer visible -- replaced by dark streaks.
