Mars 2020-04-20 11:46 UTC

CM1: 225.70°
CLat: -19.20°
Description
Seeing was tough for Jupiter & Saturn, but it took a turn for the worse by the time I reached Mars. I only used the best 5% of frames, the lowest for any set of images since I started planetary imaging over six years ago.
Notes:
Hellas Basin, which appears to be obscured by a bright dust cloud, is rotating into view.
