Still good for ordinary conditions

Good job Asi, reckon Mars more than any other planet, tolerates ordinary seeing quite well.

Cheers

Thanks all.

I used 60FPS because of the iffy seeing David, plus at this rather small scale (F22) There's still plenty of light with minimal gain settings @ 60FPS. My normal working FR would be 30-50.

Yes Trevor. Love shooting Mars for this fact. Like you, Saturn is my favorite but have decided that it's more deserving of better seeing than on this occasion. Nothing less than 7/10 I reckon.
