Mars 28th ZWO ASI 290mm mini

Hi all,
I have forever struggled to get any decent resolution using the old 60D Canon and partly cause of its weight dragging down on the focuser tube at full extension for planetary, however the mini guide cam coupled with my newly purchased Celestron 3x Barlow (Thanks to my mate Mickoid) has enabled me to capture a much better result (a lot less weight and larger image scale).

Here is a capture of Mars in mono at 320x240 using Sharpcap (best 3500 frames of 40,000) before the planet really gets away...
Cheers,
Anth

PS Tried my first go at an animation for the nights session(11 separate frames from 9.37pm till 11.32pm
