Thank you.

The colour variation between image is due to variation of sky/atmosphere condition. Seeing will effect details on Mars surface & Transperancy is the main factor cause the colour variation. With low transperance, I have to set the gamma setting high to maintain the brightness of Mars.
Colour balance also a factor to make the colour vary between each other.

By the way, adjusting the colour balance setting on ToUcam is very depand on personal decision. You can notice that the Mars images before opposition, the colour different is bigger than after opposition.
This is because before that, I still testing the best setting for Mars.

Hi WeiLoon
Nice shots. Nice details especially the one on our National day as well as 13 Sep!
Is the double imagery due to registrax's inability to resolve images that are too differentiated from each other ?

Hi Airconvent,
Ya, I think the double imagery is due to the problem you mentioned.
