Saturn & Jupiter 4th-9th-23

[siatnite]

Earlier was better on Jupiter the seeing being steadier with moments of good transparency, Saturn very stable better than the previous night but thin cloud still an issue.

Images taken with C9 - skyris 326 mono 1.5x amplification. Thanks for looking (si@nite).

Great images Simon. Jupiter full of details and a really sharp Saturn.

Thanks Kon, i was fairly lucky with the seeing early on, i wanted to wait for the grs but im tired out staying up to be honest, but conditions did start to deteriorate just after these captures!

Cheers Stuart appreciated, i think if seeing allows we should be getting some extremely good data over the coming weeks!

I think Stuart and I had a similar experience yesterday. Good seeing but hard to get to focus.

I know what you mean about tiredness. I had a 10hr solid sleep last night to catch up from the weekend but it is looking good the rest of the week...hhmmmmm.

(By the way, I just noticed you have a new account/username).

No magic i do not consider my images better than anyone elses its experience of processing the data good or bad, getting the best out of what you have captured, imo less is more in processing tease the detail out without making it to harsh is my recipe, Neil Phillips inspired me a long time ago back in the day who has & still produces some beautiful planetary & lunar images was always willing to give advice!

😄. I agree less is more. Both Neil and Stuart having been great to guide me on processing, and super helpful offline too.
