Hi Peter,

Excellent images and they make another nice stereo pair. But weirdly these give the impression of being concave rather than the nice convex sphere for the planet. Maybe it's my eyes(?)...your stunning stereo images of Jupiter from 24th September do look convex.

Anyway, remarkable images!

Mike.

As Mike says, these are really nice images Peter and for me the stereo combination works as it should, with Mars adopting a lovely 3D globe like appearance.

Regards, Geof

I must admit I hadn't intended these two as a stereo pair although they will work - and I have the same issue as Mike - for some reason I can only see this one as concave too!
