Unhappy My struggle with Mars

After much planning and reading for an attempt to capture Mars, I feel my efforts have been wasted so far.

I've been trying to process with both AutoStakkert! 2.6.8 and Registax6.
So far this has been of the more detailed stacks.

Celestron 8SE
3x TV barlow
ZWO ASI120MC
2 min capture, 2ms shutter
10231 frame captured
Gain 100%
Stacked best 5%
RGB align off
Sharpened w/ 20%raw blended in
Used various sized Alignpoints but 24 seemed to give the most detail, set via AP Grid
Seeing was rated 8 on SkippySky for that night, 1300m Altitude too
I've spend a couple hours trying different settings in AS2.6 but I cant seem to end up with a result much better than this



Is this quality to be expected? Surely I should be able to do better with my equipment (and if I can, I'd like to before we move much further from opposition!).

I look forward to any input, I'll continue to try get a better result.
