Mars and Saturn

[prokyon]

Hi folks,


3 days ago I interrupted my sleep for one hour to capture Mars and Saturn from my balcony.

Done with 10" newtonian + 2.5x barlow lens.


It is a challenge to capture Saturn, for us in Europe it is very deep in the south, not very bright and bad seeing.


Cheers

Nice work Werner, the repro looks very natural and smooth.:thumbsup:

I assume that you don’t actually sleep on your balcony, although I should be jealous of the views!:)

Cheers

Thank you Dennis,

to sleep on the balcony is a good idea. I should do it next summer. :D
