My best Mars ever! 3rd Nov 2005

Hi guys.

Even though I'd just spent 8 hours in the car driving home from Victoria, a quick look at the jetstream convinced me it was worth losing sleep to image Mars - I hadn't imaged anything in over 2 weeks!

The seeing looked really bad to start with, but then I remembered I hadn't collimated in 2 weeks and it was way out. After collimating the image improved dramatically and before long I was capturing the best videos of Mars I've ever done.

I'm not sure if the dust storm is the bright area rising on the bottom right hand of the image - I haven't caught up with the state of the storms on Mars atm.

Here's the results of my processing, comments welcome.
