Mars n Saturn 2012 C11 SPC

[AztecastroMcJ]

so my last sign in on here was back in Oct last year

i've been on few times without signing in, to get my planetary picture fix,

esp over last few weeks, and as always theres been some cracking pics posted

i had full break from Astronomy during Nov, Dec n Jan resting up, due to illness which i've had over year now,

possibly caused or made worse by late night planetary imaging in poor weather, but felt alot better for last month now

heres my efforts on Mars and Saturn from last few weeks

not as detailed as i was hoping for, but conditions were pretty poor,

with gusty wind, and altho clear, thin mist, and poor to average seeing, had frost and corrector dewing aswell on most recent Mars capture

All captures C11 and SPC900 Webcam, with either 2.5x or 3x barlow

Craterlet>Castrator>Registax6>Gimp2

more details see pics

James, welcome back and looks like you got some very nice captures despite pretty poor conditions. I am sure that it won't be long before you are posting images from your new C11 of the same excellent quality that you posted using your 127 Mak
