I'll say. I find it almost impossible to believe that one could take photographs
at intervals of Mars and have them all so perfect, and matching. Not to mention
showing more than a day's worth of rotation of the planet.

Of course, there could have been some very fancy processing involved, and yet not
of a nature that would make it reasonable to say the video was faked.

His Facebook page has an equally astonishing animation of Saturn made by
someone else from his images.

Some of the commentators on Youtube are barely out of the trees in-terms of understanding of anything.

Barely? You mean they watch astronomical imaging videos in the nude?

Do you have any evidence to support this thesis?
