About this image

After imaging Jupiter in very poor seeing, I tried Mars not expecting to get a usable image. The seeing was generally Ant III-IV but improved for a few minutes, so one video yielded a reasonable result with detail in the dark areas and some subtle shading. 2,500 of 10,000 frames processed in PIPP, Autostakkert!3 and Registax.
