Saturn and Mars - 1st Aug 2018

[John Hothersall]

SPX350 F18.2, ASI290, Baader rgb ir 685nm.

Seeing was avg to a bit above although my Airy disc to begin with after collimation was perfect so I was very hopeful.

Saturn frames where all pretty similar so it gave an average image. Mars looked very reasonable with the dark band in the south visible in red and more strongly in IR685, green and blue did not show much except the S Pole.

I put together a GIF of the IR685 which showed the most detail, pity I don't have an 807nm.

Regards, John.

Excellent images once again, in admiration of yours and all the other imagers on the forum. Looking forward to the dust settling soon but that's Mars, it has weather, take it or leave it.

Very nice work there John, particularly so with Mars.

Cheers
