Shot these last night with the ASI224mc. Jupiter was taken using a method I had used with my DSLR. I use a 2X Barlow with an eyepiece taped to the end of it. I have no idea what magnification the combination of the two achieves or what f stop I'm working at but the method functions with the planetary camera. Saturn was shot with a 5X Powermate. Both were taken with my 8 inch f5 Newtonian on an old HEQ5 non goto mount. For some reason I found it difficult to focus last night and I put it down to the seeing conditions but these turned out better than expected.

Nice images Michael. It was a very nice evening last night, but the seeing was definitely fluctuating. Our videos changed quality quite a lot in a short length of time.

Mick,
Given the conditions you have managed to capture the gas giants very well.
Cheers,
Anthony
