Finally, after almost two weeks of clouds, rain, clouds and more rain, we got a short break.  Thursday morning we had a brief opportunity to see Mars again through a thin layer of high clouds just enough to get one reasonable run.  The others were completely mis-ballanced for the different channels. It appears that some orographic cloulds can be seen forming around Taterus Montes (green and blue images).
