Over here on the left coast, we're in a pitched battle between the offshore flow (Santa Ana 

Winds) and the onshore flow (Marine Layer), and the seeing is absolutely awful (probably a 

1 or 2).  I think even the streetlights are twinkling!

This morning, it looked promising, but the fog rolled in just before I opened up the roof 

hatch.

According to a few other people on various news groups using bigger  <BR>

scopes, the blue patch is clouds or haze around Tharsis.

Yes - quite prominent currently - Duane, you've captured these clouds in your 

image too.

Nice to see some others losing sleep over Mars too!
