Made a Martian landscape

[astronobob (Bob)]

Some of the Prominent landscape features showing on Mars here, include the Sth Pole, at south of Image. Some surface dust storms about at a guess, and the obvious Water Ice Clouds ! The orange colour is/are mostly dry, iron rich rocky surfaces

I have just confirmed that dark thin pointer strip poking up from the sthrn dark band, an assured sign-post to discern other featured dark areas !

Take a look at the green images on this Link : https://www.physics.unsw.edu.au/rese...-image-gallery

Oh, Image specs,
Best 100 of 1,000 frames from the Qhy5L II color @ 45fps.
12" Meade acf, 2x big barlow,
Auttostakkert,, Registax6, PS CS3

That first picture looks a bit like a marble!
It is nice seeing the features labled, helps planetary idiots like me haha

Nice. Was this shot around midnight on the evening of 6th/7th May? Looked exactly like that for me then too :-)

Hi Markus, yes, was taken when going through the zenith on the 5th - we had a nice patch of transparency at the time up here !
Was looking good on the monitor, no doubt !
