Mars (derotated)

Building on the excellent albedo features of the IR image dd. 29/8/2020, and using WinJupos and two additional Green and Blue images (taken a few minutes before the IR), it was possible to combine a color image. However, some more experience is required as it generated some artefacts on the dark terminator, which I needed to cosmetically remove. it seemed as there was an overrun of the red image. See also:

Mars 28/29 August 2020

Slightly better seeing during some periods, and the C11 was well-collimated (using the tri-Bahtinov) and acclimatised. Imaging setup: Barlow 2x – XPRSS FilterWheel – Baader RGB IR filters – Esatto focusser – ASI290mm monochrome camera. Best details came out in infrared, which is a clear sign that seeing was still not good.
