As the topic says. No barlow was used this time. First time I ever seen or shot Mars.

Excellent shots.   Jupiter and Saturn must be scraping the horizon in Norway!!

I hope to get a few more soon with the 1.6x barlow from Antares.

Nice images, but I wonder - have you resized them?

If I take Jupiter one to be baseline, Mars is now about 14" in diameter - which would make it about 1/3 or a bit less of Jupiter at the moment (which is about 47" in diameter).

Saturn on the other hand should be just a bit larger than Mars in angular diameter (for planet) and ring system should be slightly smaller than Jupiter as it is 43" wide.

In your image Saturn is almost as large as Jupiter and ring system extends almost twice the Jupiter diameter.

Hmmm. I used 3x drizzling on all of them. I don't think I did any other resizing. I rotated them in regisrax. That sometimes review then I think.
