The seeing tonight was much steadier than the last time I took a look at Mars. This of course led to much finer detail being visible. Once again, the clouds covering the northern polar ice cap are very obvious. You can identify several additional surface markings using the Mars map on the PTO web page. The central meridian is 1.8° but you must remember the image is south at the top unlike the map. Right now Mars is coming out of its winter season with the spring equinox just around the corner on the 26th of December.
