Subject: mars at 20 arc seconds

Hi group -

I had a chance over the weekend to process this image taken October 30. It was to be the only opportunity I had to image mars in its foray over 20 arc seconds:

The detail is soft unfortunately. I spent some time preparing the LRGB composite in Photoshop paying attention to the color interpretation.

I will be an old gray mare the next time mars gets this big or this bright.

best,

Alan
