Aha - found it! I was looking everywhere else except here for this thread... Thanks to Ken for reminding me about it, and allowing me to contribute.

Here's my best mars image from Monday night/Tuesday morning - taken at 3am when mars was just dropping below 30 degrees in altitude. I guess this would belong in the "Planetary" category.

Equipment:

10" f/6 newtonian w/ 5x powermate + extension tubes for 8x
filter wheel + colour filters
Dragonfly Express high-speed firewire monochrome camera

Captured using Coriander for Linux, processing in Linux and Windows with
ppmcentre, NetPBM, registax, Astra Image, Neat Image and GIMP.

The 3 images here are really just one image with different amounts of saturation & smoothing, so hopefully one of these images will look ok on your display :-)

regards, Bird
