Hi Anthony

The colour data really makes this image stand out; apart from the scientific value it is also a beautiful portrait of the God of War.

At approximately 9 arcsecs you are showing sub-arcsec details quite easily with this image – very impressive indeed!

Cheers

Dennis.

Thanks for the comments - here's an animation using just the IR frames from 3 images taken about 15 minutes apart.

A beauty Anthony, some nice detail indeed. The IR certainly does a better job of providing a very detailed high res red channel.

It was also a very good morning out here but I put it in laid back in a banana lounge on a clay pan just out of town, recording Leonids data instead of imaging.

Regards
Trevor

One more IR image - this one shows a bright spot near lower left, close to the terminator. Might be cloud or dust.

cheers, Bird

Thanks for the comments - the IR742nm filter makes a big difference.

cheers, Bird
