A trio of planets

[Kon]

I was up at 3am to try some imaging; I should not have bothered with the awful seeing. Anyhow, I had a go at Saturn, Jupiter and Mars. Although the sky was clear from clouds, moisture/transparency was awful and it shows in the images. I am happy to have captured all three and pretty chuffed with the Mars phase. I will probably wait until better conditions.

That Saturn is good as well.

Fast jet stream over the UK was killing stability. Wonder if the dust storm on Mars has cleared ?

I am also waiting until the jet stream clears before i try again. Your Saturn has come out the best of the 3

I was in two minds but since I was up I thought why not. Yes Saturn was higher up so it helped. I think the storm is still on from what I have read but not sure at what extend.

Three very respectable images Kon especially given the seeing conditions. I think the saturn image though just edges it for me.
