For what it's worth Mike. Nope. In 7 years of shooting planets, I've never been bored once

Bring on the next session!!
It sure is frustrating Asi when the detail in the live feed is good but the signal keeps swinging due to cloud wafting through. I reckon, particularly with Mars, that it maybe worth a try to just leave the histo at your selected optimum setting and take out the sections of crook avi later in VDub. That way at least you end up with a consistent max value of gain and even cutting out a few thousand cloud effected frames, if the detail is good, really doesn't matter too much.
