Thanks Trevor. Mars was a complete washout because the seeing here is pretty nasty just on sunset, & everything (backyard, concrete slab & the scope) is nowhere near ambient. Not to mention I have the SCT collimated perfectly for one side of the meridian only; If I have to do a flip, I'd have to recollimate..
Thanks Carl. If you stretch the levels on the image after stacking, you should see any moons captured. It's a matter of then saving that stretched image, along with a normal image & copying & pasting the moons from the stretched image onto the normal into the corresponding positions. I use Paint.net for this as it memorises the positions automatically within 1 pixel. I then apply a Gaussian blur to the moons.
Attached is a copy of my stretched image for this data set.
