Two Mars drawings I made last night.  The planet has now climbed out of the murk a little and is above the houses from my location.  Unusually we had some good seeing and very transparent skies (normally the best planetary conditions occur when it is misty or slightly foggy).

The main feature on the disk was the Solis Lacus feature.  I think I may have observed a brighter region over/near Pyrrhae Regio but I can't be certain.  The whole of the prec. limb seemed quite bright, and in the far south a small south polar cap could be made out.
