Mars, 4th October from CanberraPosted By Alan Friedman |
Hi Anthony -
I like your image and processing values very much. Most of the edge of the planet is well shown but in bringing down the sky values to pure black the edge of the disk is somewhat compromised. The shadowed preceding limb is made smaller especially showing a less fully illuminated mars than actual. You can also see it at the south pole where the SPC has become a bump. I've stopped adjusting the sky values so strongly in my own images leaving some glow in the background sky - IMO it seems to help.
Keep up the fine work!
