Last night was the first time I was able to use my gear in months.
First go at Mars.
Seeing was just average, still few currents in the tube.
First light with C11/dbk21au618.
Nothing special, but I was so glad to be under the clear skies again.

Sorry that I didn't have a lot of time to answer, but hopefully the link I sent was of some use Arek.

Thank you Ray.

Asi - link was perfect. Now to play some more with the settings.
Seem to be getting lots of noise, nowhere near as smooth as yours.
Also debayering cause me some grief - keep getting grid-lines, regardless of method.
