Mars the 'boring' side,
Run Ninox twice, selected 1000 frames manuelly, then Registax V5 and stacked 700 frames.
Hazy conditions and clouds, even the dew shield didn't help.

Freddy, excellent image! Your best Mars yet, even more impressive under those conditions. Try rebalancing the blue down a bit, maybe around 20%. Thanks for posting

Regards,
Steve

Really nice resolution and detail! What is the scope and
camera?

Hi Freddy, great work! That's the highest res shot you've ever posted, congrats! This is the sharpest NPC image around, thanks for the time and effort. It appears the cap is evaporating quickly and/or dust is shooting up through it, based on your composite.
I tried imaging this morning, but there was too much motion in the atmosphere. Regards, Dan wink
