Hi observers, just a few images taken
the other day inside the very heart of a low pressure... with very poor seeing
of course. Nonetheless I have made my first try of K. Okano's idea of using the
B filter with the Magenta Fuji SP-4 to block the light after 450 nm and despite
the seeing I find the result very convincing: much white mist seems to have
been detected. Now looking forward a steady night to try that in good
conditions...
Thanks to Okano for having had the idea and
for sending me a piece of SP-4. I really think that this is a promiseful method.

Dear Masatsugu :
I have received the SP-4 a few days ago now and I tried it for first
time on october 22 ; although conditions were poor, the result
looks quite convincing to me. I will certainly keep on using it. I have been
looking for the white spot near Alba Patera; there is
"something white" in MGS images of december 13-14 of 1999 (Ls 262-263), but this is very
difficult to judge. It rather looks like clouds (also on the following days,
but with a changing shape). In the images at the end of october in 2001 (same season), nothing is seen but
the planet was still dusty at the time. It seems that it has been caught also
by Don Parker on september 23 just a few days after me. I suppose it
could be a frozen relief, but even on the high-resolution maps of MGS I don't
really see anything there.
Yes, I have noted also these de-concentration
phenomena on the images. Already on my september
sets you can see it on many images, although not so developed than on some very
recent ones. I was wondering what is was; so you think
this is due to a non-uniform distribution of dust: this sounds convincing.
Thanks for the explanation...
The weather here is still very fair. There is
some sun but soon the sky can cover itself, as today, it's very sunny but some
thick clouds are now visible to the west. No really good weather is to arrive
soon.
Best regards

Subject: Jupiter,
October 27 2003
Hi everyone,
Here are my first images of Jupiter of
the current season. Seeing was a bit poor (the weather is not getting better !). The red bandpass may
have been a bit narrow (the image is noisy) so next time I may try the Astronomik red, which is broader. The STB dark streak is
prominent.

Hello,
Please find attached my latest Mars
images (CPl27Oct03)… The seeing did not recovered of the whole month !
Note again a "transparency-hole" in the atmosphere near Solis Lacus
(de-concentration of dust Masatsugu said).
Best wishes,

Hi observers,
Some images from early november. On the first day of the
month seeing was still fair-poor, but on nov.
3rd warm southern winds finally brought some good seeing to my location - it
did not last for very long.
