Mars and Moon 31-01 breaking a drout

Haven't been able to get out for a long while now so having finished my latest stint of night shifts i had to get out and try my set up on the new EQ6Pro mount that I got last weekend. Sporadic cloud so i didn't get much chance to get multiple images so I grabbed what i could before it set in or i collapsed from lack of sleep.

I have been looking forward to trying to get Mars, It was very jumpy and wobbling like a belly dancer in the breeze but this was the best pic that i could salvage from the 2 avis that i could get before the cloud arrived.

I also took this nice hires crater pic with the intent of finding out what it's name is but so far i cant track it down. Ideas anybody.

C9.25, 2.5 Powermate, Celestron Neximage CCD, Registrax 4, Photoshop CS4 and Astra Image plug in.
