Jupiter, Saturn, Mars 28/8

[Rigel003]

Astro-Physics 175 refractor, ASI 224 colour cam

Taken last night when each was close to the meridian, which meant about 3.00am for Mars unfortunately. Reasonable but not great seeing.

Doing all three made me realise how faint Saturn is relative to the other two atm. Mars was capturing about 150fps Jupiter 120fps, and Saturn was 20fps.

Thats a very satisfying set of results. Mark

Very nice images, Mars is a real struggle at the moment :zzz:

You should be able to get a higher framerate for Saturn, I image at 100 fps at a gain value of 365 (a little under unity gain) with my 224MC.
