About this image

Using a barlow gave nice chip coverage here and due to excellent seeing I was really able to push the scope to the limit here - imaging at F20.

I used Astrostakkert on this image, TBH the deconvolution preview image saved was so nice. That is what i have uploaded here. So no other processing done

Lovely detail visible!. If you look very carefully i think you can see tracks left by Matt Damon in the rover.

Would that be space pirate Mark Watney? Well, he did drive a long way.
