Quite please with this shot, Mons Olympus is just visible in the northern regions.

Sadly the clouds came back.

Nice image with tons of detail! 

I'm trying to figure out what is the small white bit in the centre. I noticed it also in an image I made from around  4:30am this morning. Since it is in the same location for 24 hours it is probably attached to some fixed Mars feature.

No worries  I found the answer in this thread: it's orographic cloud above Arsia Mons. Seems to appear quite regularly at this time of the Martian year.

Very nice, good colours and recorded the blue polar hood very well.
