About this image

I was imaging Mars at regular intervals from around 22:00 untlil 03:00 the following morning but until 00:30 the data was too poor and Mars too unsteady to get a worthwhile image - then things improved.  A little less sharp than the excellent images I had on 17th December but not far behind.
