About this image

Mars data from earlier in the evening on 20th/21st Sept when I'd forgotten to add the UV/IR filter in front of the ASI224MC- camera for 10 videos!

Shows more dark albedo detail than RGB with L filter in place because significant IR adds in to each colour, but colours are odd & cloud at bottom not so nicely rendered as previous image. S.Polar cap ends up reddish too.

Interesting comparison anyway
