Description

One of my first attempts at Mars taken with my Fx2 at f8 with 2x Barlow and ASI ZWO290MM along with a RGB filter wheel. EFL is 5150 with approximately 5000 frames per color.

After reviewing it, the image is probably over processed however it shows some interesting features that I do not believe are processing artifacts.
