Mars in opposition and Olympus Mons


December 8th, 2022, and Mars is in Opposition with an angular diameter of 17". Clouds this morning during the Lunar Occulation of Mars but this evening 1 hour clear sky. The polar cap is still and good visible on the northpole and  at 10 o'clock (east) is Olympus Mons visible. I think this is first time I captured this volcano.
