Default Mars from the 11th October

Hi all,

Here are a couple of shots of Mars taken in reasonable seeing on the
11th October and an animation using three results from that date...

Hi Pete, that is a fantastic result, especially the earlier one
(starting 0419). When Mars grows to over 15 arcsec in December your
setup should produce some really amazing images.

I haven't attempted it yet as it's still quite small for my 200mm SCT
and it hasn't risen above the neibours' Lelandii properly yet.

Very nice job, Pete.
