About this image

Surprised by the amount of detail still visible given a disk diameter of only 5.6"

Mare Acidalium/Niliacus Lacus on the Northern part of the meridian. Sinus Meridiani and Sinus Sabaeus left centre.

Wavelet processing was done for the first time using AstroSurface as opposed to Registax 6. Comparing the two, AstroSurface seemed in this instance to give the better results particularly with the green and blue images.
