Mars pic Aug 1 9:50 UTC

Local conditions are less than ideal for me so I don't post photographic results here, but for some reason the results of Aug 1 were above my usual standard. You can see a fingerlet of the dust storm as well as (at least on my monitor) the bifurcated nature of the SPC in that the planet's orange limb reaches around the top of the SPC up to the rift.

Always hoping for a window

Tim,

An excellent image of Mars showing a good amount of detail. I too note the Chryse-Xanthe storm extending into Mare Erythraeum in your image. We will have to monitor this storm to see if it expands. Please keep up the good job imaging Mars.
