Seeing not brilliant. but i'm having fun and learning a little each time (i think :D )
Setup as usual, SW 200mm newt on undriven eq5, 6mm eyepiece with moon filter and x2 barlow using my iphone 5.
All video around 18 seconds (600+ frames)
PiPP, then mars and saturn through registax and jupiter through autostakkert (drizzle x3 hence the size difference)
Enjoying playing around with processing setting, hit and miss, mainly miss :rofl:
This time i didn't have to alter the colour balance of mars.
Comments and hints/ tips always welcome guys :thumbsup:

I had another go at wavelets, a bit more aggressive this time to see if i could squeeze some more detail out of it.
Overdone, but never mind :rofl:

I particularly like your Saturn image, it's very sharp. The brightness is a bit overwhelming, however, the clarity in those rings is superb! :thumbsup:

Very nice Saturn,
And your Mars compares well with many northern hemi pics. Grab some more images now because it will not be as good here in 2020 and pitiful after that for us in the far South. Seeing has been a bit iffy here lately too.

I find Jupiter much easier if the GRS is in view. If I read the sky and telescope site correctly, the GRS should be nicely placed around 7.30pm tomorrow (4/9) ......weather permitting.
