Jupiter and saturn 14/09/2023

8” dob, asi462, 2x barlow, ADC

Pretty good seeing with first jupiter though poor on the second (still some ganymede detail!), average for saturn. First planetary images of mine in a while!

The first Jupiter is very detailed, beautiful!

Very nice set of images. Saturn has come out nicely.

A great first Jupiter & a very clean crisp Saturn too showing some lovely banding around the globe!

[callisto]

Detail showing well on Ganymede

Saturn has come out very well with the ADC.

Certainly pleased with the banding. Shame we don’t have the volume of nights we had last year!

Very important piece of the imaging train for the UK I’ve found. Really improves my images

Those are great images @sorrimen 👍

Which ADC are you using ?

My local seeing can be poor so am thinking about an ADC.

Thanks! I’m using the ZWO ADC, though the mark I version without the bubble level (makes no difference for newtonians).

Note that an ADC won’t really help with seeing, just atmospheric dispersion which is mostly a function of how high up in the sky your target is. I’d still recommend it regardless, though if seeing is bad it’s still going to be poor images unfortunately. If anything I find it’s been most helpful where seeing is good but my target is low.

Thanks for the info 👍
