Home Page for Alma-Ata Observatory Mars Images
The images are being obtained as part of the 1996-97 Amateur-Professional Marswatch project. These images have great value because of the location of Alma-Ata Observatory halfway around the world from most of the U.S. Marswatch observers. Thus, they cover the opposite hemisphere of Mars as images on the same night in the Western hemisphere, allowing full global coverage to be obtained by combining the data sets.
