About this image

An attempt to see features on Mars despite the sandstorm. The brightness of Mars enabled me to use an infrared pass filter and RGB filters at high frame rates through my 12inch f/10 SCT, 100fps for infrared and 125fps for RGB. The image is right way up and right way round, with the South polar ice cap visible.
