Saturn and Mars last night

Finally had a clear night with reasonable seeing. Both Saturn and Mars are very low in the sky for me. Tried a 12" scope, but the seeing was too turbulent for that aperture. This image of the two planets was taken with my 160EDF refractor at F16 with a QHY-5 color video camera. The planets appeared sharp visually at 300x, but the video combined image shows a bit more detail than I was able to see.

Last week from N.Judson Indiana, saw a volcano on Mars. Used a 5.6" F/7.3 SF.

You did? And how much tequila did you have beforehand?
