Mars and Saturn 26th Feb
SPX350 F37.2, PGRFlea3, Baader RGB filters.
Mars 1514-1625hrs UT
Saturn 1653-1752hrs UT
A clear night for once with no wind and 6.5/7 seeing. Cloud was not far away when it cleared at 1am but it remained clear till dawn so I got a go at Saturn for the first time. Mars showed good detail but seeing was inconsistent as usual and would ocassionally settle, some blue cloud over Hellas. Rings of Saturn are wide open now and the Hexagon head cap clearly visible nearly all the way around.
Mars R RGB 4sets in a gif.
Saturn R RGB only one good set at 1719hrs.
Thanks, John.
