Mars and Saturn, March 14th

[prokyon]

Hi folks,

I interrupted my sleep for one hour to captue Mars and Saturn from my balcony. 

Done with 10" newtonian + 2.5x barlow lens.

It is a challenge to capture Saturn, very deep in the south, not very bright and bad seeing.

Cheers

They both look very nice. Amazing level of detail you have managed to capture on Mars!

Great shots both wonderful images, especially with the seeing being bad!

Indeed.  Excellent images.  Saturn's rings are so wide open now...

A pleasure to look at, very fine captures indeed

[prokyon]

Thank you!

I am happy with the results now. I tried the same one day later, mission impossible! Ugly seeing.

Saturn's rings look great

great pics.

Two crackers there Werner! Plenty of detail on Mars and a lovely capture of Saturn - all the more given the low altitude and poor seeing. Going to be a problem for me I think....

Best regards,

Ralph

Saturn is stunning and very clean, the Mars image looks exceptionally good.    Both are smooth with very low noise, so guessing this is a 618 chipped camera?    Think I could be happy with some of that bad seeing

Lovely shots!
