Description

A better seeing allowed me to get this second image of Mars with my new material.

I was able to realize that the setting of the collimation was satisfactory, even if I expect better weather conditions to control it more finely.

In particular are Vallès Marineris, Terra Sirenum and the Olympus Mons volcano. The latter appears as a clear task close to the North Pole in Amazonis Planitia.

Views South at the top and North at the top.

Technically, this is an L-IRGB image made from 5 2-minutes videos per IRGB channel (from 22:48 UT to 23:18 UT or 30 minutes of derotation).

I've retained 9,500 images out of 150,000.

The luminance was achieved by retaining 80% of the IR channel and final treatment under WinJupos.

Diameter: 21.91 arc secs
