Mars 4th Jan 2014

Hello again

Here's another Mars capture at dawn on Sunday morning after what I hope is an improved processing workflow. It was fun to push the scope once again to resolve surface features on the tiny 7'' disk.. 1.5 drizzle stack of 1200 best frames in AS!2, final image scaled up to 130%. Deconvolution plus noise reduction in Astra Image, white balance plus colour saturation adjustments in Photoshop CS6.

Three Tharsis volcanos (Arsia Mons, Pavonis Mons and Ascraeus Mons) are clearly identifiable with Olympus Mons dead in the centre. There is also a hint of cloud cover over Alba Patera to the north - including couple of Starry Night Pro maps for reference.

Was going to post more Jupiter snapshots but the Mars bug has definitely taken over!

Thanks for looking

Seb
