1st Saturn and Jupiter images of the season, shame about the conditions

[Pete Presland]

Finally managed a session this season, the conditions were just as i remembered them 🙂 unfortunately.

Started with a quick run on Saturn, then a couple on Jupiter before Midnight. 

The usual set up, C9.25, Asi224mc, X1.8 Barlow, ADC. 180 secs per run.  Hopefully some better conditions over the coming weeks.

Sorry to see it's as bad at night as it is during the day Pete ... 😔

I was out today as well, even though i knew the seeing was not good enough for the C9.25 i still used it  🙂  Should have used the Evostar 120mm!

We know we are fighting against this awful weather but it is still good to be out. Good effort under the conditions.

Seeing doesn't look like it's doing you any favours. Good to see you out there. And getting some imaging done

Going out again in a little while, hopefully a little better this time.  The barometer pressure was a lot higher today (1020mb) , not that that means to much 🙂

Its been a while, no idea why, just work/family and clouds i think 🙂

Hi Pete,

I am, as you know , just down the road from you and I am on Jupiter at the moment, and as low as it is it is yielding a fairly decent image so it should be good as it climbs higher so long as the clouds  sod off.

Sounds promising, should be able to see Saturn in around an hour i think.
