Saturn Jupiter 10th July

[neil phillips]

Pretty sure there was nation wide good seeing last night. i woke up late. too late to set the Orion up so used the CC. Got one quick capture of Saturn before it hit the opposing house roof. 

Some what longer on jupiter. Got a few correctly sampled captures. But just as a experiment tried a barlow screwed into the ADC

so oversampled but still come out ok.

Stunning Neil very nice .

[Kon]

These are probably your best captures this season. Saturn is outstanding.

[neil phillips]

Cheers bottletop

Kon Saturn yes, jupiter I am not sure. But seeing was better I should have gone out earlier. I only just managed one quick capture on Saturn before i lost it. I also should have set up the Orion

but hey ho.  The CC has done ok. even though its resolution of just over a 7" is a bit limited.

Terrific images. I’m envious. Well done Neil.

It was good wasn't it. The morning i don't take out the Orion lol. Still shows what a good 7.3 scope can do under good seeing looks cloudy here tonight. Was wondering about two days in a row

I'll tell you Neil your stella lyra 8" is a gem of a scope without a doubt that Saturn image is your best to date (this year).  Just look how clean and well defined the cassini ring is all the way to the front Thats some great resolution and brilliant processing.Your jupiter image as lots of fine detail too. At last we all had good seeing it seems. I am just going through my data now as I've been out with my granchildren to a local fete/fair all day but judging by the images posted so far from everybody there is a lot to live up to.

Cheers Martyn still learning how much this little scope can deliver i suppose. And it seems quite a lot for only 7.3. Have to admit wish i had taken the Orion out. But then i wouldnt learn about the new scope. So its all good. Thanks for the kind comments much appreciated. Well made resolution trumps all day long. So your results must be spectacular. will watch out for them

Very good images, the seeing was excellent on Sunday morning when i imaged the Sun. Not surprised to see some very well detailed planetary images on here as a result. It goes to show what we all already knew, that without good seeing, you are not going to get great images

Yes. Definitely will do. Always worth posting everything "warts and all"  makes the successful sessions even more meaningful.  As you have recently displayed so well.
