Description

Seeing started out great for Mars. Clouds weren't present unlike the previous night.

Notes:

The entire atmosphere of the planet is nearly opaque from the dust storm.
Hellas Basin is just passed the CM and appears to be filled with dust.
The part of the SPC east of the CM appears to be covered by a thicker layer of dust than the area west of it.
