Some more Mars images. I am slowly getting the hang of taking
planetary images, but I have to admit that it can be the most tedious
thing ever in the imaging world. Anyway, I discovered that the fan in
the ST-237 was creating enough vibration to ruin (and I mean RUIN)
anything even coming close to a good image... so I disabled the fan.
The results can be seen at:

Notice the difference between the last four (newest) images and the
prior ones. No comparison there. So...off to sleep. ;-)
All were taken through the CN-212 at cassegrain focus with a 2.5x
Barlow. Images were then stacked using Registax (excellent sw).

My new slogan: Down with fans! ;-)
