Hi Duane;
Glad it worked out for you.
And a really nice Mars shot.
I have 3 hours (and counting) of video of Mars I've shot so far and have been picking up phenomenal detail. That is largely due to the fact that turbulence is very low (10/10 to 8/10 seeing wise) right now and that I finally have a working RA drive for my scope. Shooting Mars with a 3 arc sec per second drift means it drifts completely out of the FOV in 17 seconds.
TTYL..

Learning to use the right settings has helped out a lot! Little did I know that all I had to do
was let the cursor hover over the sliders and it would give me that info :)
Armed with a little knowledge, I'm getting dangerous. Check out my latest Mars image!

Did I mention that this is a lot of fun?
