Saturn and Jupiter 3/4/21

[Tulloch (Andrew)]

First time out early for me this year, the weather forecasts promised stable seeing but the reality was anything but. Best conditions occurred just before dawn, Saturn (and Mimas) had climbed to around 50* elevation by then, Jupiter (with Europa in tow) was 10 degrees lower and not showing my favourite side.

Great way to start off the new planet season and whet the appetite, fine images.

Great shots Andrew

Hope this cloud clears up here so we can have a bumper gas giant season
