Jupiter and Mars 24-Jul-22

[Peter_D]

Hello,

Here are a couple of images of Jupiter and Mars taken with my 8 inch Meade SCT and Zwo asi224mc this morning (02:30 UTC).

Seeing was very good - cool and still air.

The moon in the Jupiter image is Io. The Mars image has artifacts but it has some surface detail visible - I think I can see

Valles Marineris jutting upwards to the mid left?

Clear skies

These are excellent photos, on Mars in particular, considering the apparent diameter of the disc is currently less than 8 arc seconds.

Very nicely captured, some very nice details visible on Mars as well.
