November 17, 2023: First planetary images for AGES

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

The weather finally relented, and the skies cleared (despite Clear Outside suggesting 50%+ cloud cover). I set up the C8 with ASI183MC camera to grab what I could. Saturn was low over the trees so I gunned for that first.  Seeing was not good, but I shot 10,000 frames and got a half-decent result

Not great but better than nothing. First Saturn image in over a year.

I then turned to Jupiter, which was higher in the sky, but still showed very poor seeing.

Not hopeless, and the first Jupiter in over 11 months.

Wow Michael, your 1st Saturn and Jupiter images for such a long time, well done. It’s good to see them.

Nice start after a while. Looking forward to more captures if the weather plays ball.
