Superb images Nigella, well done.

Lovely image, colours might be a touch over saturated though but you've got some really nice nebulosity showing.

Great effort Graham, not the easiest of targets.

Processing wise, star reduction would benefit both targets.

For planets you do need a lot of magnification. I had a look at Mars last night on a 250P-ds, thats 1200mm focal length plus I was using a 5mm eyepiece. It was still small and looked nasty because of atmospheric conditions. 

The higher the altitude of the target the less atmosphere you have to look through which helps. Also you need to have a look at your telescopes specifications to see what the maximum magnification can handle and then find a suitable eyepiece. If seeing conditions aren't good then nothing will really help you, but you can always pick another target like double stars.

Very nice.

A great start.

Excellent work Adam, always nice to see other colour combinations.

Lovely image, processing looks good.

Hell of an improvement.

A brave attempt with Saturn so low now.

cant believe ive only just realised😊,must say though nina looks  superb at first glance

Looks like a great all in one for Windows computers. 

Well done, if you're fine focus is 10:1 to the coarse then you'll be going 10 times faster now 😊

Excellent image.

Super image, nebulosity is showing very well.

Very nice.

Lovely image, I think you've got really nice star colours there.

Spectacular, well done for all your effort.

Very nice, looks really smooth.

I think you've done well.

Excellent work.

Some superb detail you've captured.

Well done, not many opt for this target as it's not too easy.

Gorgeous image.

Lovely image.

Quite a pleasant gentle rendition. Only thing that detracts is a bit of ringing around the stars but overall very nice.
