Did I capture volcano?

Inspired by Paul's (CN) and others' success, I thought I'll attempt to capture the volcano even though I only have 5-inch to play with .

After I did an initial rough ("dumb" ;-)) run of image processing of Mars I captured through my 5-inch APO refractor on 09/06, I was a little stunned to see this "little bump" near the preceding rim (see arrow). After spending a lot more time processing the image, this is what I came up with.

Having examing each frames from the AVI file, I could see the "bump" in many of the raw frames!

Well what do you guys think? Did my puny 5-inch catch the volcano?

Thanks,
Ron B[ee]

Since I'm hardly an expert, I decided to hold my opinion until I'd seen more examples from other imagers and re-familiarized myself with the Martian surface features and topography. I've done just that, so now I'll offer my pair-o'-pennies' worth...

Methinks, Ron B[ee], that your image as relayed by Light Cup Senior does indeed include Nix Olympica. The fact that the feature was found on multiple frames fairly cinches it, in my book.

It's a fine image, sir. Your skills are obviously developing nicely, and I look forward to seeing more of your work (or maybe not work so much as fun, yes?) in the future.

Congratulations!

Hi Ron,
Yes, I believe that you did! Congratulations!
