first attemt at mars with a DSLR

I assume i can upload pictures now so i've repeated my previous thread for pics i took on the 27th october. Thought i'd experiment with my canon 350d on my old 6 inch skywatcher refractor. Took 100's of pics at different exposures by eyepiece projection using a camera adapter and 10mm eyepiece. i selected 15 pics at 1/30 sec exp and at iso 400. stacked them and processed them in registax .It was difficult to focus through the viewfinder and centre images. Any tips?? Though the result is not great i think you can see the dust cloud. will try again but on the lx90 next time. Though im a bit concerned about loading it up with extra weight and being able to centre images.
