Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, 12 June

[Cosmic Geoff]

Night of 12-13 June. I had not had a go at Saturn and Mars for some time, so set up the C8 to image them.  Kit: Celestron C8 SE SLT, ASI120MC, ADC.  Seeing: initially poor but improving through night.

The Jupiter images were unexceptional, but the Saturn ones resolve the Cassini division well (compared with my earlier efforts). The rings look odd - I wonder if this is the conjunction brightening I have read about?

Mars was very low when imaged at around 2am BST. I packed up because I was tired and cloud cover was forecast. I still got some surface detail.

Nice results.    No barlows either. Good effort.  

For me, all three planets skim just below a roof-top, then behind a tree followed by the hedge. ?

A fine set of images, especially considering the altitude from the UK presently.

Very nice, especially Mars being down around 10 degrees at that time!
