The second attached picture shows Olympus Mons and two other Tharsis volcanoes from this morning. I spent some time this morning working at seeing them visually with assorted magnifications and filters, and was able to occasionally see a fleeting dark spot where Olympus Mons should have been. It was only seen without the filters.
Although I can not be sure it was the mountain itself and not some minor dark albedo feature nearby, I'd like to think it was Olympus itself. No visual sign of the other Tharsis volcanoes, but the whole plain had a "ripply" look to it instead of the flat featureless plain I typically see.
