Jupiter & Saturn

Hi All
The seeing came good for a few hours early this morning so took the opportunity to do some imaging of the planets.
Telescope was an Saxon 150mm f8 newtonian with it's very basic single speed focuser that needed a bit of work to eliminate most of the slop, mounted on an EQ6.
Camera was an ZWO 290mc , best 500 frames of 3000 processed in Registax. No other fancy processing software was used. I've done this mainly to show that you don't need expensive gear and hours of computer time to get acceptable images. Good collimation of the scope and good seeing are the most important requisites
