Holy cow you are on a roll. Really smooth processing, bringing out some great detail. Fantastic image!

I've been out since 2:30 imaging Mars from here in Adelaide, but the seeing has been consistently terrible.

Thanks Ivan. Just got Saturn in 9/10 seeing to make up for your terrible seeing! Don't worry though, I do know what months & months of hair pulling nasty seeing is all about....You guys down south (I was in Cummins SA & born in Adelaide) will get some soon.

Amazing John,

hope you don't mind, I did a JPL sim compare to your
timing...looks like approx 17th Feb 13:10UT?

Wow, bloody awesome resolution, seeing and flawless processing.

As Paul and Ivan have mentioned, gully breezes have spoiled my last 3 nights
attempts. Seeing 2 nights ago was probably best from here for
a while, last night was crap at 4am.

Steve

Your making me gag to get outside but wind has other ideas, love the Elysium cloud and the icecap breaking up into obvious detail.

John.

Thanks all. I have better data on board for this one but it's a matter of getting to it.

Thanks Steve. Pretty close to the right time I think. I don't work in UT but it was at ‎Friday, ‎17 ‎February ‎2012, ‏‎11:50:36 PM. Was close enough to clocking over to the 18th that I gave the thread the title '18th feb' so yeah, technically incorrect of me.
