The evening limb haze over Syrtis Major was very interesting. At the beginning of the session it was faintly greenish in IL, but this hue was gone by the time of the second IL check at UT 22:20. Tempe and Noachis slightly enhanced in W25, both yellowish in I.L. throughout the session. Wide, but not very prominent morning haze. With W38A a very faint equatorial cloud band was seen extending over the disk north of the equator, joining the morning and evening hazes. NPC was small, sharp and white.
