Carl - some nice detail there.

Is the halo to the upper left of the planet a function of the filter, processing, rotation of Mars or something else?

Not bad for less than a minute's worth of data...

What will the result look like when you're done?

Class stuff Carl there's some amount of detail in there can't wait to see it with colour.

That's really good image Carl. I was staring at it for awhile and made out quite alot of detail. It would be handy if you had some more information like CM data and focal length. That would help me find my way around the topography of the planet.
