Hi,

Atmospheric dispersion gave me a hard time on this
image, I had to really work at getting the channels
alined and they are still off some .
I ordered an atmospheric dispersion corrector from
AVA that has the rotating prisms and when it gets here
I will see if it's just smoke and mirrors :>) .
This is my first Mars image to use an IR blocker
on , I think the color is better now .

* 14.5 F/4.3 Starmaster working at F/30
*10:21 UT
*CM 341.14
*Dia 16.07"
*Alt 39 degrees
*800 frames from one Avi of 1600

Thanks,

Wes Higgins
