Thanks. I'll have to wait a few years to see what i can do with Jupiter as it's far to low to the north right now. But Saturn should be good

Here is one from a few weeks ago.

Simply amazing. Such stunning surface and cloud detail on a tiny planet. I will never ever get as good a shot as this I don't think. Well done indeed

A wonderful image, as is Saturn, you've obviously got a knack for this AP. -

Awesome indeed, wonderful detail on the disk and the ring system and north polar hexagon are stunning from this angle.
