Here are some images from Feb 10th. Good seeing. The SPH is becoming

Here are some images from Feb 11th. Fair to good seeing, but deteriorating 
as poor weather rapidly approaching.
 
Similar activity to yesterday. Still a thick SPH (though not especially 
bright.) Perhaps we are now seeing the true NPC shining through the last 
remnants of the hood given we have now reached Ls=10?.

Friday, 17th of February 2006

Here some images from Feb 17th. Good seeing. The true edge of the NPC can 
be nicely seen now showing through the weak misty NPH. The albedo markings 
around Panchaia and Lemuria can be seen through the hood. Also note the 
thickening SPH now easy to see. Also a bright cloud over Ausonia. Arsia 
orographic cloud is bright at the limb.
 
Despite D=7.6" some minor features are still seen such as the projections 
at Gomer Sinus and the small Trivium-Cerberus dots.
