Mars & Saturn Feb 22nd UTC

Hi All,
Imaged Mars & Saturn this morning in variable & quiet fast seeing that never rose above 6/10.
I have posted 1 RGB & 807nm IR data set of Mars, I continue to be most impressed with how Autostakkert 2 handles quality estimation, multi point alignment & stacking of avi data.
I continued on over to Saturn and initially was not going to bother. I usually capture 16bit FIT files of Saturn but have been keen to try some avi Saturn data in Autostakkert 2.
I captured 1 RGB & 807nm IR data avi data set
The R channel was pretty reasonable but the G & B channels were subpar. Considering the questionable quality of what went in, the result really surprised me.
An interesting aside regarding the colour balance. The avi data was captured with the exact same settings that I normally use for capturing FIT file data but the result looks quite different colour wise.
Thanks for looking.
Regards
Trevor
