Some planetary fun

The Moon
Jupiter
Mars
Saturn
Venus

All taken with a Edge HD 9.25 @ F30 (except venus) with a ZWO 1600 MMC Pro.

Focusing with a Bhatinov mask.

I Posted a question asking should I sell my ZWO 290 MC and buy a mono guide cam as I have a ZWO 1600. I think I have my answer. I can see no reason for keeping the 290. Don't get me wrong it's a great camera but the 1600 is also a planetary camera and its far easier to find and frame planets. So maybe I will get a mono 1600. Dual use as guide cam and maybe one day I will do narrowband or RGB planetary.

So I think I am pushing it at F30 with a 9.25 Edge. An Edge HD 11 would give me around 8.5 meters and would be crisp? Also it's a great deep sky dark site scope so ....

Cheers
