Mars image from today dawn

Hi Folks,

My 1st time to post planetary image in this forum.

Havn't imaged planets for nearly half of a year. Below is my 1st Mars image taken at today dawn through a 12.5" F5 Newtonian + 3x + 2x barlows + Baader IR blocking filter + ToUcam, 1285 frames stacked and quick processed with Registax + PS.
Final image not so stunning as the red planet is still very small in angular size now and the air was not steady enough, seeing: 3-4/10 & transparency: 5/10 . Moreover, wanted to start imaging as quick as possible before the sky turning bright, and so, not have too much time to check focus. Maybe the focus of this image was a little out.

Anyway, hope you would still like it, and any comment is welcome.
