Mars - 2022-11-24 02:38 UTC - 60% Histogram

This image was captured with a 60% histogram. The image immediatly preceeding this one was captured with an 80% histogram, which is my usual exposure. At this setting, a portion of the left-most edge of the North Polar Hood (NPH) has been getting clipped in my latest images. I took the two images for comparison..

 

This image was able to endure more sharpening with less clipping than the 80% histogram image. It is also interesting to compare how the details south of the NPH differ between the two images. I am not certain which image I like best.
