Jupiter from the 6th and the 7th Sept 2021

[Pete Presland]

As a few of you know i have been recovering from my recent accident, so the astronomy had to take a "break", pardon the pun 🙂 

Unfortunately this meant i dare not try and set up in the dark on the 5th Sept, when it sounded the seeing was very good around the UK. So with this in mind i set up early in the evening on the 6th and 7th, ready for the couple of windows that conifers close by allow. Unfortunately the seeing was average on the 7th and dreadful on 8th. 

But here are the results, the last image being posted really to show how poor the seeing was. Some reasonable detail on show in the first two images.

Captured with the usual C9.25, Asi224mc, ADC, X1.8 Barlow, nowhere near what i hoped for, but good to be hobbling around outside again under the stars.
