Jupiter, Mars and Saturn reasonable conditions

[oldpink]

as predicted we had partially clear skies last night with a light upper layer floating about
I took the chance to grab a load of data to play with on cloudy nights

Jupiter was first in a sunlit sky from 7pm onwards
didn't get any decent images early on but got a few just as the sky darkened

Next up was mars which was boiling a bit in the sky so I was surprised when I processed the data

it was better than I expected and I have a load more to process

Saturn was next, pretty low in the sky for me but managed to get a couple of decent runs
though still not getting the split clear in the rings its getting better and there was some high cloud during the run
so happy I got something out of it
 

I did set up on Arcturus with the DSLR and got some subs to play with and get my focus sorted
but shortly after the cloud came in so I called it a night

Images below captured with the ASI MC with 2X barlow and firecapture

Good captures Oldpink but the Jupiters look a bit too blue/green. Did you do something to change it in the processing? Mars and Saturns colours don't look too bad.

Jupiter was shot when the sky was still blue the darkening of the image caused the colour imbalance

Ah, that explains things. Nice image scale on Saturn. Well done
