Scientific paper

CCD images of high spatial resolution, in red filters near 800 nm, have been taken from the 1 m reflector of Pic-du-Midi Observatory during the opposition of Mars, between August and October 1988. In several of the images a bright elongated feature is observed with a longitudinal extension of more than 100 deg. Comparison with Viking mosaics shows that small variations of albedo may be attributed to wind transportation of surface deposits by the strong winds of Mars. Small changes observed between the 2 months observation may be attributed to localized dust clouds on Mars.
