Help. I have a fuzzy orange blob after my first attempt at mars photography last night. Shots were taken around midnight - I do not think the seeing was good - I used the ETX90, LPI and a 2x barlow. Gives a magnification of approx 400x which is the limit for this scope. Perhaps too much however I wanted some image scale.

I captured using Autostarsuite and have approx 800 images of varing quality however when I try to process these in Registax I cannot get any improvement except a little contrast, attached are a single shot and a stack of 400...

Help! What should I do first to improve my mars imaging?
