    the large area in lower right is reddish. would this be a large blotch or just bare area image of late spring/summer? First day on this project and trying to wrap my eye around it 😃 Many thanks

    Thanks for being a part of Planet Four. I don't see much red, but that could be my eyes. I'd mark the whole blackish structure in the middle bottom as one large blotch. The red might be the patches of surface you're seeing through the blotch, it could be thinner in some places and surface is showing. I'd still mark it as a full blotch. You can tell what time of year it is taken (we use a value called L_s for timekeeping on Mars) using the view HiRISE image.

    Cheers,
