March 12th Mars & Saturn in very good seeing, Again!!

Hi All,

Imaged Mars & Saturn last night in good seeing that held in nicely over the entire session of 3 hrs. Seeing like this is why I love living out here in Broken Hill.
Initially there was some very light cloud wafting through, my Mars data was all captured through this and yet the image was very stable and the level of detail the best I have had for Mars this apparition.

Moved on to Saturn and the seeing was very nice and just kept hanging in right through until I packed it in at 4am local.
Have attached 1 RGB & 807nm IR data set for Mars, for Saturn I have attached 1 RGB & 807nm IR data set along with an animation of all RGB data but with all frames resampled 130%. This animation demonstrates how consistent the seeing was over the session. Have also attached an animation of all IR data. There is bright spot within the storm remnant that is visible in the RGB animation and also in the IR animation.
