Superb capture!

Very nicely captured.

very nice.

Superb set of images, not easy to image at those altitudes.

That is an excellent effort, i bet not many people saw the event from these shores.

Some nice detail visible there.

Lovely Saturn image.

Lovely captures, i was looking forward to seeing this. I did a lot of planning, but in true from the weather could not have been worse!

A fine set of images.

Very nicely captured, perhaps a little overexposed maybe?

Not at all familiar with the camera you are using. 6FPS is painfully slow though, you should still be looking to capture more than 200 frames, as you do at least 180 second imaging runs (1000+) frames. the imaging scale for Jupiter looks too big to me, which would focusing even harder as well. Saturn looks a bit overexposed. As for focusing i follow the same process every time. Firstly i don't stand to close to the monitor, i then experiment inwards and outwards slowly making smaller movements in each direction, until i think i am somewhere close to the point of focus. I then watch the image for a period of time to see what it looks like at the better moments, as the focus tends to come and go depending on the seeing conditions on the night.

Brilliant capture, so difficult to get something as sharp as this, excellent work!

Really tough with the Planets still, although Mars is already climbing out of the merk!

A very nice Jupiter capture, some very good detail visible there.

That problem unfortunately isn't restricted to just Solar astronomy 🙂

Fascinating to catch up on this thread, it will be interesting to see the results of the new filter.

That Granulation is fantastic!!!

lovely set of discs

Not easy with so little surface action again. How gig was the mosaic you were trying to do?
