Interesting video, lot of detail lurking in there.
Would love to see the vid stacked and processed into a final image.

Great video, that thing could be a real planet killer if you were interested in doing so. As an example, here is what can be done with a 20" Dob and dedicated camera ...

Barry,
This video is absolutely amazing. That live view makes it so real to watch and the clouds and dust are perfectly visible - your scope is a real Bohemeth and certainly would be an experience to view through.
The seeing would have been pretty darn good I’d imagine as Mars appears to hold its form right through the grab. Thanks for posting and by the way I love the comment - it’s nice to think that way but gee it would take a very brave man to convince the other half but I can only dream of such- good luck to you!
