I had another crack at Mars last night. This is the best image that I managed to capture. At the eyepiece I can see a lot more surface detail but at least I caught a little in this image.
I have posted a screen capture from Starry Night as a comparison.
I attempted to stack 4 of the best shots in Regi-Stax but failed to get a good result. Any advice offered welcome. Thanks for looking.
