Mars take two

The previous post was a bit disappointing. Mars is currently only about 15 degrees above the horizon so the image is "wobbling" a lot due I think to the thick warm atmosphere. This image was taken a couple of hours later so the sky was darker and the atmosphere a little cooler. I used Registax to stak 65% of 2000 frames exposed at 0.0512 seconds each (about 20 fps) with my 105mm etx scope and my zwoasi120mc camera.
