Really good contrast on Mars Tony. And you were able to get decent images of Jupiter than I could and still get and Mars. You make me wish I had the gumption to try and set up the ETX in its equatorial option, but at the moment I really need fast set ups and my view of the South is poor. It is great to see people like yourself doing different things with simple or basic gear (if you can call an I-phone basic!).

I have attached a more recent manual CFF 140mm drift capture of Mars with the ZWO camera for your interest as well as to encourage others to try different approaches like manual captures. And I also have added an old and silly image of Saturn from 2006 where I was using a point and shoot camera hand held! to the eyepiece of my 10 inch Dob just to see if i could get a shot in focus.
