Mars and Saturn from June 14

Finally had time to set up my new CGEM-DX in the back of my yard where I can get a view of Mars and Saturn, a bit a of crowded spot with telephone poles and power wires, but this is the only place I can get a view of objects as low as these planets, seeing was tough these were the best images I could grab.  Hope for conditions on my next outing

ZWO 174mm, Astronomik LRGB, 60 seconds of each filter at 13 fps, Q7, native.  With the conditions I had, the views with the power mate were not worth posting. Fire capture and Autostakert, and PI

Moonlight focuser with software controlled stepper.

Very nice images with lots of good detail captured.

Very good images

Two fine images. thanks for sharing.

Same images as above, but spent a bit of time cleaning them up, selecting best frames and best sets of each RGB filter.  Tossed all the LUM data as it seemed the most problematic, I think they look a bit better

Some nice detail coming through there, definitely an improvement for the 2nd set of images.

Nice images, I agree the re-worked images are better... well done.

Thanks for the comments, I appreciate it.

Very difficult seeing here recently, daytime temps unseasonably warm at 35C, and not much below 28C at night, looks like it may cool off next week, hopefully I can get another crack at imaging Mars and Saturn
