Well, it wasn't the best night. The seeing was below average with patchy
clouds rolled in. I have used the
adaptive optics and it did help. Mars was
imaged August 26, 2003 at 4:39 UT. See at:

Solis
Lucas is toward the morning limb and Meridiani Sinus
is on the western limb. The details are pretty well defined on the disk. The
Martian atmosphere is free of haze.

Well,
here is my image which is posted at:

While
I was imaging, the focus was in and out too due to the seeing condition until I
caught this one which is pretty decent. The AO-2 had helped a lot. But, it was
not the best night I ever seen.

Sabaeus Sinus is absolutely beautiful, both visually and
imaging. Near the SPC region, Niviassima Thyle (Mountains of Mitchel) is
being detached from the cap itself on the left side. Very impressive! Also, the
SPC seems to be a lot smaller than it has been during the past week.

The features are seen very clearly with free of dust. You can actually see
