Likely to be the final one of the current apparition as the planet is now descending into the trees by the time darkness arrives.
Seeing was fairly good and I was able to use a power of x638 and although the disk is now very small there were a numbere of features which could be seen:
・In the far south Solis Lacus could just be made albeit in a somewhat vague fashion
・Erythraeum could be seen and was completely uniform; Aurorae Sinus in particular was daker.
・Chryse was fairly bright.
・Acidalium can be seen in the far north and again was not uniform.
・The small North Polar Cap could be made and still retains a dark polar band.
・The morning limb seemed to be brilliant and white in colour suggesting white cloud activity.

Mars under bad seeing conditions. Although got two results, still showing tiny NPC and probably an other ice remnant to the right of it. No obvious clouds.
