Mars, IR + IRGB, morning of Nov 15th

Hi All,

Initially this morning the seeing was abysmal, clearly 1 / 10, at least it was at the low altitude of Mars. There must have been some cloud that I couldn't see as even with the correct capture settings my histogram was only about 1/3 full. I thought about going back to bed but stuck it out until about 4 AM CSST, when things gradually started to improve.

By about 4:20AM CSST the image was quite reasonable with the seeing at about 5 / 10 so I started to capture data.

I have posted an IR image from 18:25 UTC along with a labeled comparison image, these have been resized by 150%.

Before I packed up I captured a IR G B set for an attempt at a colour image. I have posted the image at the original 640 x 480 pixel size along with a 150% resized version.

Thanks for looking.
Regards
Trevor
