Clouds on Mars


 

Hello All?
I am just starting? to image Mars and figuring out what exactly I am seeing. I attach some images from Dec. 9th, 2022. See the white spots in the blue channel. Are those orographic clouds? Has anyone else seen the clouds? thanks Andrea

?I took some mars images on the 10th and 13th (UT) that showed similar features. Although in my images i didn¡¯t think to try to enhance them. Someone posted an image to the RASC Ottawa mailing list in late Nov that showed a prominent misty feature on the left (east, morning?).

Andrea, Stephen, It could be this one attached - a lightening on the left side that I couldn't figure out what that was!? Some cloud formation was suggested.

Jim?
