Mars global map and a Jupiter

Hi all, since the dust has started to clear, here is a global map of Mars in IR - images between 13th August and 25th September as Mars slowly turned in my evenings. For the polar map, I thought the stereographic polar projection looked nicer, reduced the overexposure and distortions from the shrinking polar cap over that time. It's hard to get the limb darkening adjustments well in WinJupos for a strong-phased Mars, any tips welcome 😀

The last image was on the 25th September, which was fair conditions for Mars and a late-season Jupiter. Some of my images and maps from earlier in the month made the latest report on the JunoCam images, tracking the approach of two storms (AWO-2 & LRS-1) in Jupiter's far south
