Astrophotos of Mars and Uranus from Sept. 10, 2003

The following are a series of raw images I took of Mars. All images were takes at 1/15 of a second and at about 440x power. You can clearly see some surface detail and might be just able to make out the polar cap in the 5 o'clock position of the planet.
Here is an image I created by trying to stack some images using Registax. I think the results could be better. Next time I'm going to try using the camera to take a movie rather than individual shots.

Below is an image I managed to get of Uranus. Exposure was for about 1 seconds and at about 300x or so power. I couldn't go any higher because otherwise it was very hard to see in the viewscreen. There isn't really any detail to see, just a light blue disk.
