Martian Atmosphere?

[Sunshine]

Last night was a night of exceptional seeing conditions, it made for some amazing views at the eyepiece even using my 3.5mm eyepiece, Mars looked razor sharp. It’s surface features were very well defined at 230x in my 115mm frac, unfortunately, my imaging prowess isn’t as good at faithfully relaying what I could see. Mars begged to be imaged last night, in this rushed image did I manage to capture atmosphere? it would seem so as I can’t explain the bluish hues visible on its limbs.

CraigT82 has a Mars post and I can see clouds in his data, so I would say they are clouds.

Yep clouds they are, very nice capture & great colour balance too!
