About this image

Finally got round to processing my Mercury data from 4th June and it shows more detail than expected. Some nice correlation with simulation from Messenger probe data. My image on left and Messenger simulation data on right. This with 222mm Dob and P1 Mars M-ii camera. Combination of data with Astronomik 642nm filter and 685nm filter to improve SNR.
