Comments: Dust coming down, details showing! Now that our red neighbor is retreating, the storm is dwindling and the details are coming, pity that the apparent diameter is rapidly diminishing as the phase progresses. Despite the difficulties, this is the right time to get great photos in the visible and infrared wavelengths (photos below). Syrtis Major and Hellas stand out in the foreground in this image, but many formations have become visible. https://www.astrobin.com/full/363340/0/?nc=user
