Evo 120 Saturn Jupiter 10th June

Looked iffy setting up the 10" So under such circumstances easy to go for grab and go. Not as good of course but enjoyable still. For a cheap refractor it does have good contrast as can be seen by the banding on Saturn

Lots of detail there. Just goes to show you don’t need massive scopes to get good results. Well done

Prefer more resolution. But a handy stop gap showing a fair bit of detail for sure

Cheers  Trevor

All things consider, still a good end result Neil.

Yes, very tempted. Unfortunately i have a huge row of conifers just down the street that blocks the South/south-East view. My window is almost directly South, just pased the meridian. I could catch them from a bedroom window, but i am guessing the imaging quality would be dreaful.

Enjoying seeing your images again Neil, its good to hear you are enjoying yourself in the wee hours, definitely the best time of the day!

[neil phillips]

Thats a shame Pete. Thanks again for your interest much appreciated as always. And yes the best time of day. So calming and peaceful. While the world sleeps. I feel like a space voyager.

Just looking on https://in-the-sky.org/  and the situation looks a bit better by the middle of July, even better by August for myself. I did think a month or so back that the conifers were going to get a trim, but not happened yet 🙂
