Mars 2018-07-20 06:58 UTC

Description
Seeing was great as we moved on to Mars from Saturn.

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