Hi all. I had a go at Mars last night with my ED100 refractor (with 3x Barlow + IR block filter) and Toucam Pro camera in reasonable seeing. Whilst I'm sure the processing could be better (and probably focussing), I wonder whether it is possible to get a lot more detail through this aperture? Thanks for looking at my humble offering!

Tim, what are the details about your capture?
How many frames did you stack?
Focusing seems a lil' bit soft, but I'm sure you will improve with practice... you are very-very close though, some minor adjustments and you should have a great shot! wink

Thank you for sharing, and keep it up! 8)
