[AZ-Observing] S&T Mars Profiler

Just to follow-up on the "which side of Mars was facing Earth?" discussion, I 
ran S&T's Mars Profiler (1st time for me) for 8:15 UT, June 22, and it placed 
the same longitude on the CM as Mars Previewer II. However, the flattened map 
display gives the impression that features well off the CM should be easily 
viewed. The curved surface display of Mars Previewer accurately shows that such 
features are very difficult to observe.
