Went out to view Mars this morning for the first time. The air was still, the seeing good and the AM3 mount worked will with the Sky-Watcher Skymax 180 on top.

The final image at this point in this apparition was very small but I was pleased to capture some of the surface features.

This is a screenshot of the settings I use in Sharpcap

This is how small Mars is on my APS-C chip
