My 2nd Jupiter and 1st Mars/Venus images

[pel]

The seeing was ok but hazy and I was imaging Mars over a roof. I don't think they turned out bad though.

Those are some really nice pics. Mars showed up rather well.

That goes for me too......... Small but beautifully marked...

I had a tweak in Photoshop making an addition layer and playing with the colour balance. When the two are combined surface features,which I think may include clouds,show up better.

Yes, Mars is my fave too.

Nice photoshopping Cloudwatcher, I'll give it a go.

[Virgoman]

Nice images, Pel. Definately a cloudy Mars:)

Cheers Virgoman, either that or I need to clean my barlow :-)

Nice work Pel

Any chance of squeezing a little more scale out of your setup?

[pel]

Cheers Rob, I should be able to.

The conditions didn't seem up to it at the time though, it was very hazy with lots of thin cloud around and Mars was just above next doors roof.

The 3x Tal barlow wasn't producing a bright or clear enough image.

I am going to try and capture Mars again at the weekend when it is a bit higher above the horizon. Hopefully give Saturn a go too.

These are great images.

I am just waiting for delivery of my 200p/EQ5 so I am very inspired to see what you have done!

Keep up the good work and I hope to be able to post some images soon too.

Thanks Martin.

And that was in fairly bad conditions. I've got the £90 motors though which are essential.

You'll love the scope it's brilliant. I never thought I'd be able to see nebulas from my back garden.
