I'm not sure why I continued to work on this (maybe because I never did get to image the solis lacus region in 2003) - seeing conditions were so poor going back to bed would have been a better use of time. But I didn't so I will share this very soft and fuzzy mars with you.

Looks good to me Alan. Even the polar cap is defined well. Mine usually turns out as a white blob.

Hi Alan,

That's one of the best soft fuzzy Mars image I've ever seen. grin Seriously, it is a very fine image, I'm glad you decided to stay up and image.

Clear skies,
Ed Roach

Hi Alan,

I agree with Roland: it is a very good "soft and fuzzy" (??) mars smile

Ciao Alan.

Hi Alan,

Maybe just a slight bit fuzzy as you said but very! detailed, is this the Mars that you used the IR pass filter on and if it is how did you like the filter.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins
