Was imaging the moon last night just after sunset and managed to start two and only two runs of Mars when the bus stopped and all the mosquitos got out on the SCGO stop.

With only two runs, the regular .mpg animated video I create along with the best frame is not included.

Seeing was poor as the wind was still pretty gusty. This image is from 20160719 01:16 UT or 20160718 21:16 EDT.

Mars was 23 deg altitude and 187 deg azimuth. Apparent diameter 14 arcseconds.
This was a 120 second run with 35ms exposures. I have included the best 10%, 25%, 50% and 75% of the results from AutoStakkert!
