Hi Folks;
I batch processed the 15.2 gigabytes of Mars video I shot last
night/morning over supper, and just finnished up processing them in
Astro IIDC (sharpness, log stretch, brightness and color balance).

That is a composite of 4 hours of Mars at 15 minute intervals (12 am
to 4am MST local) I caught very good detail considering I'm using a
MAK 127 mm 5.1 scope.
Seeing was very good last night and looks like it might be the even
better tonight, as there is no light thin cloud / haze. A little
chilly (-5°C), but nothing bone numbing like our -40°C winter months.
Seeing started dropping off at around 3:30 am so I packed it in.
Enjoy the images..
