Mars 08/10/20 IR-RGB

[Yawning Angel]

Just a slim window in the almost perma-cloud up north for Mars to peak out. IR-RBG, 8 x 1 minute per channel, de-rotated. Celestron C8 / ZWO asi178mm

Increasing image scale with a Barlow will help. Can't do anything about the clouds however.

Great image @Yawning Angel 👍 Nice cloud details, the S-pole cap nicely visible and great surface structure. A slight bit bias towards the blue maybe?

Maybe indeed...off to photoshop!

Less blue:

@astroman001 I did try for the barlow (x2.5), but the image went to mush. Swapping to a 174mm camera helped, as it has bigger pixels so is closer to critical sampling with the barlow. I found the data more usable from the 178mm at the native focal length, which is quite closely match to the tiny pixels

@Yawning Angel, love the new color tuned version!! It displays the surface features and the clouds a lot better I'd say.
