This has taken me a couple of days to process due to the less than good seeing conditions when I grabbed the data. I've probably done 2x as much image processing on this one as on any other image.
Mars was at an altitude of around 30 degrees, and the seeing was very unsteady due to jetstream conditions that we suffer from time to time.
Images captured using my PGR Dragonfly Express on a laptop running Coriander and Linux. 10" newtonian @ F42 (approximately), Astronomik RGB filters.
Captured 3000 frames of red and green @ 50 fps, and 1800 frames of blue @ 30fps. Stacked the best 1000 of each.
Try as I might I can't get rid of the bright edge, the raw data is just too poor.
