[Space Cowboy]

Thanks Simon! Got some more to go through as I've been concentrating on the Saturn data but its nice to grab this side of Mars with all the volcanoes poking through the cloud even if Mars is shrinking back.

That's a belter of an image with the volcanoes breaking through the Martian haze.

How many frames was this, and what software did you use Stuart??

Cheers Pete!

Thanks Tim I took a 25000 frame avi and stacked 5000 in AS!2 (captured using EZ planetary) wavelets in registax with auto RGB align and balance then onto Image Analyser where I enhance colour vibrance reduce colour noise and raise black and lower white and gamma to enhance contrast. Sometimes I use the frequency domain filer if noise is a particular issue as too much use of the noise reduction filter can produce a smear effect.
