Thats a very impressive image Pete. I can definitely see some cloud detail on my monitor.

I managed to get a quick capture on Jupiter in the early evening of the 20-08-20 The seeing was very poor with fast rolling clouds playing havoc with the histogram. Jupiter was also skimming the neighbours conifers so I am quite pleased with the result.

That is a cracking image Steve. I know the conditions are really poor out there at the moment. So great stuff the C11 as certainly delivered for you with this one.

Think there was a lot of moisture up there last night that probably counts for more noise than usual.10hrs should be just right on the veil. As said it is a good start and it is nicely framed.

You have worked miracles Peter to get any detail at all with the conditions as they were.

I think they are exceptional images considering the conditions.

Well done Simon on capturing decent IR & red images. The seeing last night was horrendous in our neck of the woods as it probably was all over the country. All my captures have now gone in the bin😬

What a beautiful sharp clean image of Saturn back in 2013 that is Simon. The 2020 image Isn't to bad either, But as Peter said you can clearly see the benefit of more elevation. One good thing with the Planets being so low is that it must be improving all the planetary imagers processing skills.

Excellent image Peter, just shows what can be achieved when the skies play ball.

Excellent image the colour balance looks spot on to me.

Loads of detail on the GRS and SEB Peter. I'm finding Jupiter a very difficult target at moment So very well done.

After imaging jupiter with the seeing very poor, I turned to Saturn where it was surprisingly much improved.

Lovely job Martyn - great detail there and stars looking good.

Thanks Brendon it was seeing your fantastic image of the elephant in SHO palette that encouraged me to go after the SII.

As good as any I have seen, superb capture.

Thankyou Alan.  Thats very much appreciated.

And thanks everyone who commented and ticked the likes.

Very mushy seeing on jupiter in the early hours, But amazingly one degree or so higher saturn faired much better. I persisted with the data of jupiter as I was experimenting with different settings.

I'm still non the Wiser.

These are very good and well presented images of Saturn Sime. I know the conditions were poor last night so very well captured and processed.

Thats a great image with lots of detail on show.

A very informative discription and a fantastic image too. I think they maybe one or two of us trying to offset the nebula now.🙂

Well found Rodd, a very nice image with loads of potential I will look forward to the finished image.

 Love the little crescent nebula bottom right. superb work Olly & Yves.

Just managed to capture both saturn & jupiters transit in the early hours monday  03-8-20. I was starting to pack away the scope when the clouds kindly parted.
