Mars

First shot of mars this year

Thats impressive. What camera / scope did you use.
I tried last night about 10pm but the air was very turbulent. Couldn't get a decent shot.

Hi Derek, I used a C9.25 with an ASI120MC camera. The capture software was firecapture. Stacked in autostacker and sharpened in Registax6.
I took that shot the previous night, it was noticeably still conditions compared to last night. I was going to try again last night but tbh I was too tired to give it a shot.

What's your setup Derek?

Yes Sunday night was very steady. I got a quick view through the eyepiece but got clouded out before I could attach the camera

I have a C8 and an ASI120MM.

Registax has an 'RGB align' option in the wavelets processing step (in Functions over on the right). That might help reduce the red and blue at the top and bottom of your image and get a little more detail out.

I routinely use RGB align to attenuate the chromatic abberation from the Mak and it seems to work well.
