Mars UTC
CM1: 351.70°
CLat: -26.10°
Description
I decided to call it a night after this image so I could get enough sleep for Jupiter in the morning.
Notes:
- Sinus Meridiani is at the central meridian.
- Syrtis Major and Hellas Basin are setting.
- The bright orange cloud over Hellas looks like it may have escaped the basin on its western side.
- The south polar cap is very small.
