Description

Wow, that was one of my most difficult projects. From data acquisition to processing, this object demanded everything from me.

Over three clear nights in February I was able to collect a large amount of narrowband data. Until the middle of March the weather was always bad and so I had to wait to be able to collect the RGB data.

The wait was worth it because Mars had accidentally crept into the field of view. A nice composition I think

After a marathon of processing, a very nice result was achieved.

I'm looking forward to your feedback
