Saturn and Mars 30 June 2018

I was pleasantly surprised to see some nice seeing last night around 11pm. I had slightly prepared for the chance by uncovering the telescope in the late afternoon, but never expected to see good seeing. Probably the best seeing this season so far, but I finally have all three planets on the board for the year. I captured Saturn and Mars. Mars is showing little if any real detail and I don't even recognise the area I captured.

I reckon the seeing was around 7/10 or slightly higher. There were some very still moments for the Saturn captures.

Nice pics Paul,
Awesome details on Saturn

I should have set up too... didn't think the seeing get better.
Ah well, next time.. when ever that is in Adelaide.
Ps. I moved to Bridgewater from Mnt Compass.

Cheers
Mick

Excellent Paul especially Saturn - very sharp, nice details in the rings and bands. Definitely up there with the best.
