Description

My best Mars this season so far.
Mars on 10th December 2022 at 19:44 UT at moderate seeing.
Many interesting details visible.

RGB: Celestron SC C14 and Televue Powermate 2x, PlayerOne Mars-C and Baader UV/IR-Cut, RGB (69x 60 sec), 15% of the frames stacked with AutoStakkert!3, derotated with WinJupos. Live color calibration on Jupiter with Firecapture. 

My experience with the color camera is that subsequent color calibration with Mars is not effective. It is better to do the white balance beforehand on Jupiter or the moon. Otherwise you lose so much of the blue light component when taking the picture that it is difficult to correct this afterwards with the red-heavy Mars.
