It was amazing! Only after i took a look at the resolution image with the trails. I tried to capture Ceres transit on M100, but light pollution in my location made It Impossible. Only Ceres and stars appear in the field (Borttle 9 here).

Congrats! Good images!

Hi friend. Yes, i did. I got some more shots but had no time for processing yet. So i will share single frames, only stretched. First image in native focal ratio f5.6 i see perfect stars corner to corner, even with a APS-C sensor size (i would like to try a full frame sensor, but haven´t one). Second one was taken with the f/3.9 reducer. With a small sensor (as the ASI1600) we can see not perfect corrected stars in the corners. I have no reason to complain about that because my last apocromatic triplet refractor had worse correction, even in native focal ratio with a good flattener.

I love to do these animations after processing the videos. It really seems to bring more reality and life to the images. Many thanks!

Thank you Mark.

Thanks a lot, Pete.

That is a great scope. Excellent optics and mechanics. Also beautiful. The stars are pinpoint corner to corner. I´m very happy with that new rig. Soon i will bring more details. For while, an image can say a lot by it self. No cropped edges. ASKAR FRA 500 F/5.6 quintuplet + ASI1600mm L 20x60s + RGB 10x60s (each filter) Urban sky Borttle 8 Messier 7

Anyone who waits up until 6 o'clock to capture Jupiter, for sure capture Saturn too. 😅 Follows an image with the planet almost at Zenith and good seeing conditions. C11" HD + TV Powermate 2x + ASI462mc Date: 2022_06_06 08:29h UT

Progressively the gas giants are losing altitude for us in the southern hemisphere and arising for you in the north. It's a fair taking turn for everyone to enjoy. 😃 At the time of capture, Jupiter was 55º above the horizon, apparent size of 37.9 arcsec. The seeing was fair, but far from perfect.
