Mars is heading
downward to 12 arc seconds even. Most details are still visible. Mare Tyrrhenum
and Mare Cimmerium are dominating the disk. As this point, Mars is looking
normal.

Dear all -
Mars was imaged
November 26, 2003 between 0:27 UT and 0:53 UT. The seeing was pretty good and
most of the details are visible.
Mare Cimmerium is
prominent across the disk. Mars is free of dust at this point.

While we are
bracing for a winter storm coming up in the
Mars is getting
increasingly difficult to image and the seeing must be better than average to
succeed. Mars was taken on December 5th at 1:07 UT. Luckily, the seeing was
average and quite clear during some fine moments. At 143 CM longitude, Mare Sirenum is broad and the rest of the southern hemisphere is
dark. Not sure what feature it may be. The SPC is barely showing it at all. At
this time, Mars is free of dust.
