Hi! If you're new here or came here to look for information about the anomalous cloud on Mars, please read this.

Conditions were very good this morning.  The seeing and transparency were both quite good, although neither was perfect.  A moderate fog was present along with a light jet stream.  Nevertheless, as Jupiter is now rising to about 50 degrees elevation at sunrise, the skies are becoming more and more forgiving.

Here are two rgb images from the best moments of seeing, along with an intervening IR image and a set of multispectral images.

Edit:  Thanks to the nice people at the Astronomy.fm for making this image the AAPOD for August 11, 2012!

and this same image with the red, green, and blue channels (click to enlarge):

and pair of IR images:
