Thanks Bratislav. Yes, you're right - I sometimes think "yeah, that's not too bad" & then I remember that Mars will only get to 14" this time around. The software now is great; I don't know how we managed without Astrostakkert in the 'old days' and I think the ASI camera is working well for me.

Thanks Mark. After a while planetary imaging can become a little obsessive I think. You just get used to getting up at 2am for 3 hours & it seems weird when you stop doing it.
