Here is the first Mars RGB image from this morning’s session. This was taken a couple of hours after the luminance one I posted earlier. After processing the imagery, I was confused by the south polar ice cap looking like a ring.
At first I thought it was a processing artifact, but it was visible in the raw video. So, I went to the recent series of Mars images on the APOD web page. Those photos were taken by Damien Peach, one of the best planetary imagers on this planet. What I had assumed was the southern polar ice cap appears to be a bright polar cloud. What I had originally thought might be a cloud in my monochrome image was in fact the light Hellas basin south of Syrtis Major.
This is my first planetary image assembled from separate RGB images taken using my Flea 3 camera and Xagyl filter wheel. The learning curve is a little steep, but as a first attempt, the image is acceptable. This is only the first. I was able to take RGB streams of Jupiter, Saturn and Mars for a total of 44 GB.
