I think Mars is now of the size where it's only shootable in pretty rock 7+ seeing but in this case, AS!2 saved the day with some careful stacking/Paint.net processing. I've gotten away from my normal colour balance on this one to try to get any thin cloud partially visible.

Still a very presentable image John. Keen to have a go myself.

Thanks Ray. I'm finding my success on this planet almost uncanny. The seeing was pretty ordinary, & yet AS!2 worked wonders yet again to produce a passable stack. I'm super impressed with AS!2 as well as my luck right now. Not many would know how hard it is to get a successful image from this target now, & it's just getting harder every passing night.

Thanks JJJ. Yes, have a go at Mars before it's too late!

Really nice result Asi, AS 2 is just sooo good and yep, Mars is becoming more difficult, reckon the extra couple of degrees alt up your way should help you go longer with it.
