Movie capture of mars though a C11 in a good seeing night. At the end you can see what can be done stacking hundreds of frames on each colour channel to obtain a colour image.

Time lapse looped animation of the planet Mars taken at ~01:40 UT 5th March, 2012. (Images taken about 30 seconds apart). The seeing was excellent at times and some images were very clear, showing polar and planetary features. The images are digitally zoomed and unprocessed and show some glare and pixilation.

Captured with a 100mm refractor and Vesta pro webcam + Baader contrast filter + IR-cut filter + 2x Barlow lens.

Ed ~ i managed to get some images of mars after a good observing session last night, unfortunately the images were at the end when high clouds started roll in.
Visually, features such as the polar caps were easily visible using a 8mm planetary eyepiece and 2x Barlow on a 100mm refractor.
