Mars 2005 Opposition.  Imaged with a Celestron NexImage camera, through a Celestron C14 SCT at F/11. The Celestron accessory UV/IR NexImage filter was used for this photo.  Post-processing was done in Registax V. 3.0.1.24.  Note there are apparently three areas of clouds developing in Mars atmosphere in the first frame.  These are the blue areas in the top frame, with some atmospheric limb haze also contributing to the blue colors through the UV/IR filter.
