Thanks Paul,
For this effort I setup a 24 hr 7 day timer to fire up my Peltier at 2:30 am for 30 min's so when I hit the deck at 3:00 am, by the time I had my imaging equipment setup my mirror had stabilized. The live image looked pretty crook until Mars climbed a bit higher at about 4 to 4:30 am.
It really is amazing how the IR filter cuts through the poor seeing and about 1000 of 7000 frames seems to do the trick.
