Thanks Duncan, looking forward to the next favorable opposition of Mars in 2014.

Thanks Clayton, this was a bit of an experiment but then, I suppose thats the name of the game, so far as trying different approaches to imaging to see what works and what doesn't.

Thanks Clayton, the colour in these images is exactly what was produced by this particular process with no adjustment of the colour balance whatsoever after merging.

Whatever you are doing, it is good IMO.

Thanks Lester, I think using Birds ninox program helps a lot and I did use it a lot last year with Jupiter. Only downside is the time involved in running the avi's through virtual dub, then ninox prior to Registax, Astra Image Pro and CS4.

As this capture session was cut short by cloud I only had 4 data sets of IR & B to process and that still took up most of the next day. Normally the seeing out here is pretty stable and I image over very long sessions capturing maybe 20 or 30 avi's over 4 or 5 hours, which would take me several days to process if I put them all through virtual dub and ninox.

I think, given very good seeing, I would persist with the longer processing regime that provides that extra 5 or maybe 10 % improvement, it really depends on what sort of detail I am trying to eek out of the data.
