Here is Mars from last night. The conditions were not that good and was not able to use a Barlow with my C11 so I settled to go with just the camera. It was taken with my Celestron C11 and a ZWO290mm. The filters used were ZWO (RGB). The seeing conditions were below average and I could not get any higher magnification with a Barlow without losing much detail so I went with the native 2800mm Fl of the C11.

I Captured it with Fire Capture then it was dropped into PIPP, then Stacked in Autostackkert. Photoshop CC was used to combine and finalize the image.

When I combined the RGB I used and additional "Red filter" as a Luminance to enhance it's detailed and I made it about 70% opacity. The rest I tweaked with PS with the "Camera Raw" filter. So this image would be called (RRGB) rather then (RGB).
