Thanks guys for the response, don't you guys go to work at all? Thanks all the same.

Louie I was imaging through my Lx200 10" as per usual.

Matt go with the 9.25 better for planetary imaging. Sorry I also meant to write AVI's. An AVI is an encoded movie taken of the planet through a webcam, in this case the Toucam Pro that I have.

Gary, this was the first clear skies that I have had for nearly a month. So I share your pain and if it is any concillation today has once again clouded up.

David, by all means use my settings, just bear in mind that I am using the Baader UV- IR cut filter and this may change the settings slightly. My settings should give you a rough guide on where to start. If you look at my Jupiter settings they are different again. You will get a feel of what is best for your equipment once you process a couple of hundred AVI's. LOL

Mike that image is with a Powermate, a 2.5x, sorry forgot to mention that too. Yes I am hopeing for some good seeing in the next couple of weeks, but with the season going for longer than it should it is anyones guess how the seeing will be at opposition. I think the tweek on the collimation made a bit of a difference too. Still I won't know until the really good seeing happens. Thanks.

Kearn, the seeing was very so-so last night but better than it has been for quite some time. Mars has really grown in size and now is more impressive.

Here is another one from the same session. I think this one is better, slightly sharper and same seeing.
