Mars 2018-07-20 06:35 UTC

Description
Seeing was great as we continued capturing Mars.

Notes:
Syrtis Major is rising.
The atmosphere above Mare Cimmerium appears to be less opaque than surrounding areas.
The South Polar Cap appears muted by the dust storm.
Most of the SPC also appears to be darkened.
