Hello,

Finally got a night with good seeing. Here is a mars with preliminary processing. I'll update with the final version when I have time to process it.

Clear skies,

Hi GY,

Wow, very very nice smile
The polar cap is clearly defined and Solis Lacus is just awesome! Congratulations for this superb Mars image.

Excellent!!! Hey, could you post a single raw frame of this image so we newbies can see what it takes as a starting point for a good image?
Thanks

Yu Gu,

An outstanding image of Mars showing much detail that is difficult to describe. Clouds (orographic) appear to cover Olympus Mons towards the north-following limb. The South Polar Cap (SPC) is irregular and shows detail within. Please keep up the excellent work.
