Mars on 12th August

I finished off my imaging session this morning with Mars. I think I found a way to contain the ring effect to some extend by under sharpening in Registax and then using a high filter layer in Gimp as overlay. Let me know your thoughts. First image with my new workflow and second by my normal Registax sharpening. 8" Dob, manual, 2x barlow, asi462mc, UV/IR cut filter. Resized 1.5x.

Definitely the top image. The lower looks overcooked on my 32" 4k monitor. Top image looks good.

Thanks for the feedback. I will experiment more until I find a pleasing workflow but I have a good starting point for now.

Nice image!  The first image for me.

Thanks, I agree that it is better. Seems to have less details but more natural.
