Hello! It’s been a while. The weather didn’t cooperate much with this past Jupiter opposition and I only recently had a chance to get a view of Mars.
Starting with late updates from October 20th when I imaged a late-season Saturn and Jupiter prior to its recent opposition. Seeing was quite good.
Here is Saturn on the same night with two moons visible (5 were in the frame at the time).
Here is an image from September 13th. Seeing was fair, if I recall. You’ll note from the ring shadow that this was slightly after opposition.
and finally one from September 4th, just prior to opposition.
