One set of filtered images this morning between 08:00 and 08:45 UT.
Details are marked on the image.  The area I find of interest is along the 
border of  Sinus Meridiani and Chryse, following the slender curve of Oxia 
Portus.  There is a bright area in the red image, inside of the limb processing 
artefact.  Potential cloud/dust??  This is probably of no significance, but 
I wanted to send it out ASAP just in case.

tream finally disappeared for a few days and allowed me to grab a few decent 
image (by my standards anyway).  I will have a few more sets to send, but 
these are the better of the lot from Nov 11/12.
 
I used the 30cm SCT scope @ f40, and the ATK-1HS camera, controlled with K3CCD 
tools.  The best 900 frames from approx 1200 were combined in Registax 3 for 
the LRGB sets and 500 of 600 IR and 80 of 100 UV were used.  Filters were from 
the Schuler line.  I have had no luck getting any good images with the Lumenera 
camera, so I will wait for an update of  K3CCD to run it.  Until then, the Atik 
camera will be my choice.
