Jupiter & Mars good uk seeing 27th july 2022

[si@nite]

I was contemplating packing up this morning as cloud cover was an issue but glad i waited because when it cleared Jupiter was as good as ive seen it in a long time!

Heres a selection from this morning including a quicky at Mars!

Taken with a C9 skyris 236m camera with 1.5x amplification - Jupiter upscale 10%  Mars 200%

Images taken are RRGB unless marked RGB thanks for looking!

They are great images Simon lots of detail in those Jupiter shots and a very nice mars too. I was wondering if you were going to set up for some imaging. It looks like I have missed some good conditions again oh well next time.

Great stuff Simon.👍

Cheers Martyn, i nearly gave in parked the scope & contemplated an early night (morning) but noticed a good window of opportunity between the cloud as Jupiter climbed!

Excellent detail on those Simon. It must be entering darkness at full height soon. Well done

Excellent Jupiter, and Mars not bad considering the tiny 8 arc seconds disc.

You did well to get some clear skies in Derby, I've not had a clear night in Dronfield for over 2 weeks.

Hi Neil yes i was amazed how high its getting just before dawn, i must have caught it around 35 degs or so, i think its going to top out around 38 here correct me if im wrong also the jetstream seems out of the way at the moment Jupiter was as steady have ive seen in a long time showing good detail at times too!

Thanks John, Mars looks like a pea on capture very difficult to get any focus point at the moment!
