These images were taken using a 3x Barlow instead in a 2.5x Powermate. I do not think the seeing was really good enough to justify such a large image scale, but because it was much better than it has been lately I went for it anyway.

Kit:

C9.25, 3x barlow, DFK 21AU618.AS

seeing wasnt good around here either. struggled with focusing all night. the blurry in and out of focus type. Third image down is the best here i think

I agree with number three

A good job under tough conditions:icon_salut:

Yes that is exactly what I had, the image would snap into focus briefly but spent most of the time being very out of focus. But at least the planet kept a round shape, rather than wobbling all over the place as it has been doing over the past week or two.

Cheers,

Looks like we have all been suffering the same poor conditions, though your images are still good.

Yes, it does seem like planetary imaging is 5% honing your capture and processing skills and 95% waiting for decent seeing.

Nice shots Chris. I'm sure when you get some good seeing they will be knock out!
