Altair GPCAM first light. Mars, Jupiter and Saturn 19-20/04/2016

First light with the GPCAM and what a great night! These are my first Saturn and Mars pics. I've thrown a Jupiter in as well. All taken with a Skywatcher 200p on an AstroEQ driven EQ5 with a colour GPCAM. I was using my Astro Engineering AC333 2x barlow with a homemade extension tube. I'm estimating it gave about 4x magnification.

All of the planets were imaged using Sharpcap.

Whoops, looks like they're all upside down might have to correct that.

Not if you're in Australia, there's no such thing as up in space

Thanks, it was great to finally get Saturn and Mars, there a whopping great tree due south in my garden that makes it quite difficult.
