Mars Animation
10/09/2020
This is my very first attempt at an animation of Mars. It was taken this morning between 00:12 and 1:55 UTC. You can see a light patch (dust storm or cloud?) which was visible last night move from centre of frame to left edge. Mount Olympus is visible and looks to me to develop a shadow as it moved to the terminator.
