IR-RGB

My best shot of the Lord of the Rings.

The luminance acquired with the new Ir pass ProPlanet 742 nm Astronomik filter is amazing when compared to previous UV-IR cuts.

Specifically, the notable details are:

- Ring C: the weakest ring located further inside.

- The bands that separate the equatorial, tropical, temperate and polar areas.

- Polar hexagonal storm: this is the feature I'm most proud of as it's the first time I've been able to solve this detail.
