Two gas giants through the murk

[Trevor N]

Conditions are generally not good here in the UK at 52 degrees North as many others are finding out with Jupiter and Saturn so low in the Southern sky.. Last night was hopeless, a bit like taking a video through a jelly ! . Still nice to get something. Taken through an ED120 with imaging source one shot colour. I used a x3 barlow  and the same set up and processing,  but thought I'd bring them onto the same page. to hopefully maker a better picture.

Still some decent detail visible, despite the conditions.

Thanks Pete.  I think we are all battling with the conditions this time around. Trevor

Well done for getting out there in these difficult conditions, two nice captures for a sub 5" scope!

Thanks Simon. Looking back it’s amazing the quality difference the low altitude has made. This was taken with the same scope a few years back
