Hi all,

Here is Mars shot in considerably better conditions. I tried an RGB image with the tri-colour images, but to me it looked too green. More practice...

Hi Paul, great detail. I see the NPC is slowly making its grand appearance, just in time for opposition. This makes your 78th Mars posting over at the International Marswatch site, that's amazing. The image quality has really progressed since you started back in May. Good luck with the tri-colour imaging. Cheers, Dan

Paul, Excellent images. The details in your RGB images are very sharp. Please send some of you good seeing eastward...

Regards,
Steve

Hi Paul -

The color in the posted RGB looks fine - the blue breakout image looks somewhat dark to me. Are you creating the RGB images in Photoshop?

cheers,
Alan
