SPX350 F39.1, PGRFlea3, Baader RGB filters.

Another clear wind free night of imaging with variable seeing with moments that looked really good but would not settle. I did another combine of 2 sets of data and a gif to show the nights work images every 20mins.

I got a not too bad Saturn but Saturn needs really good seeing to get the fine banding, perhaps I spend too long on Mars as it is the more interesting and only comes round every 2 years and Saturn does not seem to have any storms atm.

Mars-1222 to 1247hrs UT
Gif- 1055 to 1220hrs
Saturn - 1436hrs UT.

Thanks, John.

Exceptional John - very fine detail and colour variation on the relatively bland surface. Regards Ray
