thanks Ivan. Yes, the Mars definitely shows softening from the high alt wind - it just drains out the very fine detail no matter what exposure time is used - I guess that means that the turbulence supports multiple simultaneous imaging paths. Saturn was quite a bit higher, which makes a big difference. The upper level winds above about 50kts have been hanging around here for 7 weeks now - not very helpful for imaging a planet that stays below 45 degrees altitude, so was very pleased to get a halfway decent image.
