Hi All,

Imaged Saturn last night, had not captured the long lived dark oval since July 22nd but caught it last night. I have been told that even in the Cassini data the dark oval is getting smaller and fainter so I was very pleased to resolve it to add another data point to my spreadsheet & drift chart. It is midway between the CM & Following limb in my R channel data and can also be seen (just) in my RGB. Have also attached an R channel animation.

Next morning I was up early to capture Jupiter and have attached an animation of my 742nm IR data.

Thanks for looking.
Regards
Trevor

Thanks for the comments guys.

Allan, must say how pleased I have been with the performance of the ASI120MM, particularly with my very early attempts at Jupiter in very poor seeing, certainly looks to have potential.
