May 11th-Mars, Saturn and double stars

SPX350 F39, PGRFlea3, Baader RGB filters.

Seeing was variable settling down occasionally mostly near the meridian giving a good Mars and Saturn. Watching those still Saturn rings with some short lived unsteadyness rippling at times was good. Saturns seeing was fair so I went to have a look at Antares and Beta Sco doubles in fair seeing at long FL, I went back to Saturn and seeing was good again for 10mins at least then it went wobbly again.

I managed to get the Mars Projection to ROTATE.

I used WinJupos Ephemerides section to animate my own projection but file was 300MB long. I did not know WJ could do this so I am very pleased indeed.

Thanks, John.
