A recent Jupiter & Saturn...

[Kokatha man]

Hi SGL'ers, we haven't managed too much imaging of late, mainly due to clouds - but here is a Jupiter & a Saturn from the 2nd May this year...

The Jove gives a good view of the turbulence following the GRS & also some vey nice traceries of festooning in the EZ - this is about 24 minutes of data here. Some quite nice single-channel images also...

The Saturn from later in the same night (before clouds stopped our imaging session) represents 4 r-g-b sets staggered over nearly 40 minutes duration...plenty of hair-dryer "defogging" of the corrector plate in between capture sets.

Despite the length of the WinJupos derotation it appears as if there "might" be some subliminal disk activity...& the North Polar Hexagon remained very clear, which is not always the case with multiple WJ combinations...

Truly Stunning Darryl.

I'm surprised that it looks like there's not much going on on Saturn. Well done indeed.

Thanks Harvey - here's a "size ridiculous" of the Jovian image fwiw!

I had a go at Jupiter RGB for the very first time last week. Seeing your images makes me think I should probably give up. Simply beautiful. Thank you for sharing them.

Super images. I like how clear the Saturn hexagon is.

Thanks fellas :) - Notty, seeing & elevation are always critical aspects in imaging...down here in South Australia Jove only gets to 60 degrees at maximum...but that is a whole lot higher than in the UK for instance! - in a few years the roles will be reversed somewhat,  so whatever experience you get in the interim will stand you in good stead!

Sublime as ever Darryl - what's not to like. The detail in Saturn's polar hexagon is amazing - you can clearly see structure within structure - beautiful and always a pleasure to view your work.
