Here's Mars taken 11/17/05 at 6:12 UT from Corte Madera, CA.  
Camera: Unibrain Fire-i monochrome board camera
Filters: red 23A, green 58, blue 38A in Apogee color wheel, IR blocking filter
Telescope: Meade 12.5" f/4.5 Starfinder Newtonian hot-rodded with Dob-Driver II 
tracking, JMI 2" motorized focuser, 3x barlow for effective f/12.  
Very good seeing and transparency.

I used the best of a thousand images in each color, aligned and stacked in 
Lynkeos, and processed in Kieth's Image Stacker and Photoshop all on a mac.
