Jupiter and Saturn

[Mickoid (Michael)]

I took this tonight with the Sony RX100 M3 just to showcase the two planets and their proximity to the Milky Way. Due to lockdown here in Melbourne I was confined to the backyard under Bortle 6 skies but transparency must have been good because the result isn't too bad.

20 x 1min subs @800iso and f5 ( got rid of the star flaring ) tracked with my Nano Tracker.

Yes!

Looks good Mic.

The crescent Moon and Venus might be worth a look for your setup.

Thanks Peter, don't you want me to get some sleep?

Sleep? What's that?

Last night I had very little, trying to get set up for first light with the new Esprit.
Using Jupiter as the first focus target, dumb clouds just kept getting in the way.

I did eventually get focus, and Jupiter with all her moons was a beautiful sight through the new scope.

Up early for the polar align.
Still too cloudy, however the crescent Moon and Venus kept me in awe...
