Thumbs up Jan 25th, Mars in fair seeing, Saturn in GOOD seeing

Hi All,

Imaged Mars this morning in reasonable seeing. Have attached an RGB and 807nm data set. Both have been resampled 120%. There are clouds to be seen over Olympus Mons and the volcanoes in the Tharsis region.
Both the G and B channel contributed to the saturation of the icecap. This week has been the first time I have used the Flea3 for Mars and I am still experimenting.

Following on from Mars I acquired Saturn, initially in fair seeing, about 5 to 6/10. The seeing just kept improving all the way up to the morning twilight and peaked at about 8/10. Have attached a couple of RGB & 807nm IR data sets along with a link to a very hi-res animation.
Of great interest are two distinct white spots within the Great Storm remnant that are really hi-lighted by the animation. There are also three Moons visible with Tethys below and to the left then clockwise from there and above are Dione and Rhea.

Thanks for looking.
