As always, your processing is excellent. Always a pleasure to pore over the details in your images!
Phobos is the tiny perfect moon! It boggles my mind that the moon's diameter is smaller than the distance from my house to the nearest city. 
@tom30519 thanks! I love seeing this potato with Mars behind… I wish there was a Phobos between my flat and the nearest city as well haha
Btw my cpu crashed several times along the way - also the original was 28k and had to reduce to 23k to upload on Flickr 
@andrealuck
Running into limits like that is sooo frustrating! But I remember back when the company I worked for then took delivery of the first PC-AT, and Bill Gates was quoted as declaring that "nobody needed more than 640K of memory"! Ah, how times have changed! 
@andrealuck
And at 28k, too! The detail... the detail... beautiful!
