Details:
Mars on October 23rd seeing was much better being slightly above average with average transparency to start which gradually worsened during the session. Still lots of dew to deal with. North is up and East is on the right in the image. Mare Sirenum is the prominent dark surface feature across the middle with Solis Lacus (The Eye of Mars) at 8 o'clock. Visible in this image at 9 o'clock just rotating out of view is Valles Marineris (Mariner Valley). Olympus Mons is visible in the north almost center. Not many clouds visible over Tharsis and the Tharsis volcanoes as on the 22nd. Clouds are also visible along the eastern and northern borders. Meade 12" LX200, ZWO ASI174MM
