Lucky Friday the 13th
Well this was really lucky imaging because I took the footage between passing clouds and to be honest, I didn't think the seeing was all that good. I was surprised I managed this much detail but thickening cloud prevented me from trying Saturn and Mars. By 11.00 pm it was completely overcast so I packed my gear away. Maybe tomorrow night will be better. The weather in Melbourne has been dismal for astrophotography for the last few weeks so I am itching to get out there again!
Equipment used for this shot was my usual combination of 8 inch f5 Newtonian and Canon 550d.
