This is not really a planet but I consider this section the orbiting section.

This has a period of 50 years and is now a touch over 10" separation and can be split visually even with smaller scopes. I did this a couple of hours before Jupiter on 25th. Very faint in red but clear in blue filter. Visually best separated in the blue filter. In the UK twilight viewing seems to lessen the glare somewhat making it easier as its is very low from UK.

Thanks for this wonderful image John, it could not have been more timely, as we've been discussing it in a thread above for some time!

That's interesting about viewing in twilight; another good tip!

And the colour there of the PUP, is as I saw it, at the EP to my eyes; and agree about the blue filter visually as the red was hopless in my setup.

Cheers bigjoe.
