Mars rotation on 19-03-2012

Posted: 03/21/12

Here are some images taken of Mars on the 19th of March 2012 with good seeing. Images were taken at different times to show the rotation of Mars. Clearly the Tharsis volcanos and Olympus Mons can be seen and also an indication of morning haze disappearing in the late Mars morning can be seen on the left hand side of Mars.
A video of the rotation can be seen here
