Well done, great image - you've certainly mastered "cut and paste".

This reminds me yesterday I tried to push things a bit by using eyepiece projection with Mak 180 and a 6 mm Baader Ortho. I couldn't get enough blue on the clouds, must be this cheap dyed glass dark blue filter. The stacking artifacts are rather nasty too, but here it is anyway:

Try using a X5 powermate, you may just be able to capture one of the Rovers on the surface.

Glad to provide some light hearted input guys and flattered that some of you did a double take for a second lol

Nice shot Greatattractor you should try a Mars mosaic!

Rover blur can be a problem with avis over 3 mins Lee so I don't tend to bother.

You never know once they get this new space telescope setup Hubble may become available on Astro buy and sell!

That is really funny Stuart, you fooled me. I have been working my nuts off lately and just haven't been able to do any imaging at all, but I did get up in the night to look out of my window and I saw Mars beaming brightly here at around 2AM. I thought, - I must get out and image that but was too knackered. Then I just saw your photo and felt really [removed word] off that I'd missed something!

Regards

Harvey
