First 2022 Syrtis Major observation.


I managed to catch a glimpse of the Syrtis Major two nights ago on the 21st at 22h46m UT.

The seeing was terrible, I guess I was lucky to see any of the Syrtis Major outline. 

The North polar cap was evident. 

There was a slightly lighter shading in the Hellas region, though that could have been down to wishful thinking.

Hopefully over the next couple of days seeing conditions will improve.
