Mars map, 2020

[Tulloch]

I tried creating my first Mars map using WinJupos on some of my images taken this year. My images varied in quality which made it a bit more difficult, and the exposure/colour/albedo also changed across the images, even though I took them at pretty much the same location in the sky, same camera and sharpening settings.

After importing it into Photoshop, I used the healing brush tool to smear over the discontinuities between images to produce this. Just don't look too close :lol:

That's great Andrew. Looks real good. You could map it to a sphere and make an animation :thumbsup:

Well done Andrew, a very nice map of your Mars images a lot of processing effort to go to but worth it.

That is an impressive piece of work.
A great way to summarise your Mars captures this season !

Thanks all, I thought it would be easier than it turned out to be :)

I did try creating a rotating image, but the 0/360 degree line was a huge discontinuity and looked pretty bad :)
