Neptune et al

Neptune, Saturn and Jupiter all on 3 September 2019
Celestron C6 on EVO ASI 1224mc camera and 1.5x barlow.

As was the case on 3 September, Jet stream has been around 60m/s or higher lately but still can get some images when not too cloudy or windy in Canberra. I trust you have better conditions where you are.

While, I do not think my Neptune is a particularly good image (it was very unsteady while being captured and my setting might have been a bit off) my posting is more to encourage others to post theirs now that the planet is at opposition. Uranus will also be high at a more convenient time in a few weeks.
Saturn and Jupiter can still be easily captured and I think these images are decent for this stage of their oppositions. I should say Jeff's images of Jupiter posted a few days ago are pretty good!
