Mars - 2022-11-26 0742 UT

This uses 6 60s stacks each of R, G, and B filter images. The best 58% of frames in red stacks were used along with the best 42% of frames in green and blue stacks. Captured with a Celestron Edge HD 925 with a ZWO ASI120MM camera and Optolong RGB filters using FireCapture 2.5. Stacking done in AutoStakkert, initial processing in PixInsight, derotation and channel combination in WinJUPOS, final processing in Photoshop and Topaz Labs.

 

Central meridian on Mars is 25° in this image. The area explored by the Opportunity rover is just to the right of center, in that brighter peninsula that juts downward in the dark features. There's some interesting weather happening near the north polar cap (at top), and it looks like there are some clouds about to rotate into view at the lower left.
