After some helpful insight from Alan & Milton, I reprocessed the solar images from the past weekend and they can be found here:

Last night the seeing was somewhat better than average and I seized this as my last imaging attempt with Mars this year.  I used an Antares 3x barlow and a barrel extension to yield a true f/62 or 12 m focal length image with my C8.
