Hi All,
Seems like alot of us were looking at Mars last night, my thermometer read the temperature at 2.8 degrees, so the winter is really on the way.
Anyway, I felt it was time to try and get an image of it despite the seeing been terrible.

This was taken with a 12" SCT + unmodified toucam pro, 400 frames were stacked in registax, early morning hours Oct 14th.
I must convert over to using RAW mode in the not too distant future.

thanks lads,
Dave, I was going to use a barlow, but the turbulance was just too bad, it wasnt revealing any more detail, it just made everything fuzzier.
Hopefully we'll get a few more clear nights soon.
