Hi Jim -

That's a beautiful image! - the colors and processing are just about perfect. If you have the file saved in an earlier version, I would love to see if you could avoid the abrubt cropping of the dark limb by the black sky background. (a very minor quibble with a great picture.)

best,
Alan

Jim,

Better than fair, it's very nice. Seems odd now that Mars has passed opposition, lots of folks have stopped imaging it. Yet it is still larger now than it will be on next opposition. I'm so far behind in processing...I have 3-4 sets of avi's to process yet.
