Mars July 2018

This is a superb, realistic image that is loaded with detail. Mars always gets my heart racing and this image is the kick I need to begin observing it. It has the eyepiece view realism that's lost in many images. I love it! 😊

Thanks so much, very kind of you to say :). I actually dialled back the sharpening on it because it just didn't look right.

I started observing the planets way before the imaging and it is so easy to get carried away with the processing to drag out every bit of detail forgetting that you are losing that 'clean' look you get with visual observing (I am definitely guilty of it!).  I wish Mars was in a better position but it does get better later this year.
