A small and a blurry Mars

Captured on the 29th September, only just got around to finishing the processing..

Although I don't really think the end result is worth the time invested The seeing has been horrible lately, and with Mars so low (30°) it doesn't help.

The blue NPH is visible and Mare Sirenum is the dark band across the south, but no small scale features are visible because of the terrible seeing and poor resolution. I was hoping for nice seeing because Olympus Mons would've been visible at this CM.

I tried captured Venus the same morning at an even lower altitude, but that one I did throw away There wasn't a single frame in 2600 that was sharp.
