Also he held back on sharpening somewhat to prevent a unnatural balance which also probably is playing its part Can't speak for Geof of course

Neil, you spoke completely correctly for me 😉. I held back on the wavelets as my initial extra sharpening just looked wrong, hence why I valued your expert critique this afternoon. Kon also nailed it, it really didn't add much if anything. I've been getting excellent feedback from everyone on here - it's very inspiring.

I sent it over to Richard McKim earlier this evening and he wanted more from UK imagers, regardless of quality, so this evening I've gradually been sending over what I've captured from earlier this aparition.

Thanks Kon, I think I agree, but I keep trying for that extra 1%.....🙄🤔

I totally agree trying to squeeze as much as we can out of our captures.

Yes, Richards a great guy  I am finding.

He did a search and apparently, we corresponded 10 years ago. He won't want for anything with your quality. Probably some of the best Mars's images in the UK at the moment.

And likely to get even better quite soon i reckon.
