Jupiter, Mars & Saturn June 1st 2016

Imaged Jupiter June 1st in average seeing, have a shadow transit of Europa.
Have reasonable detail in the SEB preceding the GRS and nice detail in the STrZ.

Imaged Mars at high alt and in reasonable seeing, my best RGB for the apparition thus far.

Imaged Saturn at high alt also in reasonable seeing two days short of opposition, there was quite sharp detail across the planet but just a little bit of a twitch happening toward the extremity of the P side of the rings. Banding within the atmosphere is well defined as is the change in the colour of the bands toward the North Pole. The polar hexagon is seen as is the vortex at it's centre. The Seeliger effect is quite prominent with the rings very bright and white.
