Mars on Aug 22, 2003

   This set of Martian images show you the rotation of Mars for 6 hours captured on Aug 22, 2003, five days before its closest. These images have covered from 120 to 340 degrees in longitude.
   You can detect the Syrtis Major after midnight, but I couldn't record detailed features because of bad seeing condition.
