These are best 50% of a couple of 300-frame SER videos made with the QHY 5iii485c camera through my wonderful 6" f/8 Newtonian with Spooner-finished mirror. The light from Mars took 4.57 minutes to go from Mars to Earth and the light from the Moon took 1.32 seconds. Moon, 395300 km; Mars, 82.2 million km. So by the time I took this picture, Mars had moved.
Below is a single frame, perhaps the best of the night.
