VMC-Nov-13-2010-High-clouds
Two large cloud complexes downwind of Alba Mons are seen in this view of Mars taken on November 13, 2010 by the VMC camera on the Mars Express spacecraft from an altitude of 10,000 km.
The image is an LRGB blend of VMC Images 2, 4 and a little of 3 (overexposed) after co-registering and blending at 10x scale. Luminance data was from Image 2. Some of Image 2 was also multiplied in to increase contrast. Some known camera artifacts (close to Alba Mons, unfortunately) were clone stamped out.
The north pole of Mars is at center of the image, hidden by high clouds. At the right the two clouds can be seen, to the east of what is likely Alba Fossae.
