Mars less than average seeing

Well as most of you would know if you look at the weather map; South Australia has had cloud cover for the last Month. At least when I went to image Mars. So last night when I got home from an evening with friends I saw that the sky was clear and there was Mars. Still very low on the horizon.

So seeing was as expected 3/10
Transparency 5/10
Toucam settings
Gain 20%
1/33 exp
Saturation 85%
Gamma 0%
Brightness 50%

Anyway the pole was not very visible and Syrtis Major was prominent. Am wanting some better seeing. But for now it is Ok.

Thanks all, for your comments, really appreciated.

David working on a 2.5x powermate and 2500mm focal length. Assuming that the Toucam is somewhere between 4-6mm resolution. I would say that the mag is around 1041+. When I get decent seeing I figure I will be able to use my 5x powermate and get even bigger image scale and magnification.
