Thanks very much Fernando! I can tell you though - I won't be imaging anything else at this altitude again!

Hi Greg. Thanks mate!

I did a bit more processing on this to exploit the faint oxygen signal in my RGB. I also bumped up the red signal a bit in the outer shell. Subtle, but noticeable.

First of all, fantastic to see a Sidonio from you

Seriously though, this has come together very nicely Marcus it's a fantastic result considering your location, heck it's a fantastic result even if you don't consider it Great extensions.

Great shot! That is a low altitude for sure -- about as low as M8 is for me!

Thanks Tom! Glad you liked it! It'd be nice to be able to flit between hemisphere's wouldn't it?!
