On this one I made the followwing changes:
Aligned with a cross hair eyepeicein the scope, as well as on the
RACI (Orion), this improved my alignment a great deal and let me caputure longer videos of the target [around 3 minutes].
Used a Celestron barlow (with the lens removed) in place of the diagonal as a spacer for the X-Cell 3X Barlow.
Other than that identical. I see some slight improvements (may be in the eye of the beholder) 25k files PiPP to 10K, AS3 at 10%, Registax,
PS & a light touch of Topaz sharpen (focus).

Beautiful image of the red planet Tony. Congrats on winning the APOD for today. Just curious - did you take the photo through your 6" scope?

Yes, Michael, this was the SE6 pumped through a 3x Barlow into an ASI 224
MC. Thanks for your comments.
