Great job Dennis! Fantastic shot for your first light.
Definitely reduce your FPS - capture at no more than 10fps, and even go 5fps if the seeing is incredibly good. The reason for this is that your data is compressed at high frames rates, so you're losing the fine detail.
The second one you added looks heaps better. You should try capturing in k3ccdtools, and make sure audio is off so that registax doesn't hate it.
For whitebalance, try "auto" for 10-20 seconds until it looks about right and then switch it off. What other settings did you use for gain, gamma, etc?
How long did you record for? For Mars, at the focal length you're using you can probably go for about 4-5 minutes and see no evidence of planet rotation. It will give you more good frames to select from when doing the align/stack.
Looks like you've done a nice job on processing too, well done!
