The Christmas skies were clear this evening, but the cold wave that passed through Charlotte from the Midwest gave us very transparent but unstable skies. Mars was difficult to image; the planet appeared to be under rippling water, with surface details appearing and disappearing every few seconds.
This image shows the planet with linear wavelet processing. I pushed the processing as far as I could to enhance albedo features, while trying to perserve a "natural" image of the planet. The visible features can be identified from the Mars map of the area (below).
