About this image

Finally got around to finishing the processing of my Mercury image from 9th October.

Taken with my trusty 222mm Dobsonian on equatorial platform late Sunday morning. Image shown alongside degraded Messenger probe data simulation for comparison. Spin blur masking method used to minimise edge-rind and maximise detail.
