I think that you have done very well considering the conditions.
Any further thoughts on the ASI camera?
I find Firecapture very intuitive and really easy to use; what do you think so far?

Thanks Maurice,
I think the ASI camera delivers nice high frame rates but I find I have to stack more frames then with my Skynix - so it's good for bright objects like Mars, particularly in variable seeing. I am not sure about it on Solar yet - in terms of the Moon, at the 1260 resolution, I cannot get it to go above 22fps even though it's speced at 35.
Firecapture is easy to use but I still have some bugs with it - I seem to have to reinstall my filter wheel quite a few times and also it freezes up on me when I change the resolution - perhaps it's my laptop.
But overall, it's certainly adds nicely to my arsenal.
What we need is a USB 3 low noise camera with similar frame rates!
