Planets

Hi, been reluctant to post these as the quality is barely worth it but with not many being posted I thought I'd may as well. Taken Monday evening into Tuesday morning, in 4/5 / 10 seeing .The quality of the seeing for the past few years has been mostly horrible and that's when there are breaks in the clouds.
Taken with the 180mm Mak, HEQ5, 290mc, best 10% of 10,000 frames. Processed in Autostakkert & Registax. Mars was showing its bland hemisphere, Valles Marinaris is at the 9:00 0'clock area, supposedly and Olympus Mons near the centre of the disc. Unfortunately the seeing and resolution is not quite good enough to make them visible.


Thanks for looking.
Jeff
