Another super Mars image - nice job Steve!

It's great having a planet with such good elevation - so much more opportunity to image either side of opposition.

Thanks Tom.

It certainly is.

Thanks Simon.

Nice; even without the ADC.

I had a go too last night, after doing an hour or so on NGC6826. I also got a couple of sequences of Uranus. Yet to process any of the vids as I didn't get to bed 'til 05:00 this morning. 

Thanks Bryan.

I don't think the ADC helps much at that elevation TBH.

Similar sort of time frames here as well.

Looking good Steve, had a go last night but so long since I did any planetary I've forgotten how I did it 😂

Dave

Thanks Dave.

And yes I know that feeling.

ZWO C11 x 2.5 pm

no ADC this time

ZWO C11 x2.5 pm ADC

Its fine ,I know where my towel is.

Been capturing some data tonight on mars and I a hopeful of decent results but the seeing went mushy about an hour ago and I came in fora brew and had another look a few mins ago and decided it was time to pack away.

C11 x2.5 powerate

Sometimes I can get on with mine and other times not.

I think it is a case of me not relaxing or not quite having the correct interpupil distance.

Thanks David.

I got this one the other week and it works with my Flir cam

Great job, Steve!  Thanks for sharing with those of us who are out of luck right now.

You got sun? V nice!

Yesterday - nothing today.

Thanks Mark.

I will try and remember to put the distance overlay on it.

Thanks Dave .

Similar conditions here I am managing about 1 day a week.

I had a tweak of the tilter today in between the clouds.

Clear here as well tonight.

Welcome to the club.

Not the best of conditions today.

Give it a click or 3 for full res.

I have the x 2.5 and x 5 and use the  x 2.5.

The x 5 I reckon i have successfully used a handful of times in the 10 years  I've had it, I do try it when I think the seeing will take it but it is very rare.

With the gas giants as low as they are for me the powermate stops in the box and only ventures out when mars gets a bit higher.

Good stuff.

Yep i would be up for that if I can remember how to stream live.
