Excellent detail and processing, Mike. There's a line of 6 or 7 dark rouond spots at about 45 degrrees latitude....dos anyone know what they are in terms of land forms? I can almost see the canals wink .

Hi Mike -

Nice work! If you have a red filter, try it too. In decent seeing it has been my experience that the red images will be sharper than IR.

best,
Alan

Hello Mike,


That is an awesome image. Was this 8-bit or 12-bit?
