Hello, I managed to grab this pic last night before wall to wall cloud came in, seeing was variable but there were short intervals of reasonable seeing. Best Regards, Virgo Attachments:

Hmm, the boring side ....
You did better than I did, the cloud here was clearing during the evening but didn't clear enough to be useful until 2am, even then the seeing was very unsteady, I could barely see the polar cap & decided imaging would be a waste of time.

Hello Brian, The image was the result of 1025 frames stacked and some contrast enhancement in PSP X2, apart from rubbish skies my main problem is the low contrast features of the Martain disk. Simply hiking up the contrast introduces unwanted effects. I have found that the Highlight Midtone and Shadow give some improvement. Regards, Virgo

I have added more contrast which seems to bring out more detail, I used my 200mm dob mounted on my vixen for this image. Attachments:
