Well, attached is the combined and processed shot of Mars taken on 2-1-10. This is the best I could draw out of the data and equipment. It is the results from (3) 30 second video’s that resulted in (3) photo’s. Each photo was between 15 -30 frames stacked using RegiStax out of 450 frames per video. Each photo was then processed through MaximDL Essentials followed by Photoshop 7 and layered together in Photoshop as well. The darker northern Martian terrain listed from the north as, Mare Boreum, Mare Acidalium, and Niliacus Lacus, while running along the bottom is comprised of Sinus Sebeus, Sinus Meridiani, Sinus Margaritifer, Mare Erythraeum, Aurorae Sinus and Solis Lacus. Note; image is mirrored east to west. Video’s were captured through an Orion C11 with a Orion Star Shoot camera and a 2X Barlow.
