2022 12-31 Mars1x DRZ15 at19_46_52_AS_F7500_ap65 R6 EnJ
We captured Mars on Dec 31, 2022 at about 7.46 pm local time using our C8 Edge telescope at its native mm focal length of 2032 mm together with a Planetary color camera ZWO ASI178 MC. At the time of taking the video, the darker mare areas (dried up seas) in the southern hemisphere were prominent with their darker tones.
Our image shows these big dried up sea beds in this region (lower central part in our image). The lighter northern polar cap/ hood cloud seem to be also there. However, there is a "rind" artifact along the left edges which we could not remove. We used SharpCap to acquire 4 minute videos at 100 fps. We then stacked the best 7500 frames out of the 24200 frames of the video and used 1.5 Drizzle on the smaller image to create this image. Enjoy!
