Mars from the 10th

Hi all

Here's an old Mars image that I only just got around to processing. I didn't rush to process it, because I knew the data was only average from that night.

It had improved by early the next morning when I got my Saturn data on the 11th, but the night before it was very "wobbly" - some features were visible but the shape of Mars fluctuated by at least 5 pixels in every direction between frames. I think that pointed towards temperature difference between the mirror and ambient, causing tube currents to wobble the image.

Anyway here it is, finally processed so I can delete it off my hard-drive

btw still having difficulty with colour balance on my new laptop and LCD at my new work. On the laptop it's too blue, on the LCD it's too red. I give up

Thanks for looking.
