Even though everything pointed to pretty bad seeing, I had to give Mars a shot. Its been a long period of clouds. I was rather surprised at the results after seeing the unprocessed stacked result. The power of deconvolution in bringing out detail is amazing. I haven't been able to find out yet, but I think some dust in seen in the N. Polar region in this image. You can see what would appear to be albedo features obscured in the Red channel, and I think that area extends too far south at this point to be part of the ice cap. I've sent out a few e-mails trying to get some better educated opinions than my own, but I would bet some dust is kicking up.
