LX200 Mars enhanced picture

This picture was scanned by Gábor from one of my negatives, 2400dpi and
saved in a raw 16bit per RGB format (more than 47 Megabytes!).
Using my program, I analyzed the picture, remapped the
valuable data-range to the 8bit per RGB range,
than cropped and color-enhanced it.

Just an other phase...
I removed the surrounding noise, thus the deep black background...

I wrote a Red/Green/Blue shifter in my program to compensate
for the optical color-shift effect...
