Mars, Jupiter and Saturn (photomontage)

Been itching to capture a photo of Mars ever since I was a kid!

I had hoped the GRS would be visible on Jupiter but the rotation timing was off and my Saturn result, well, leaves a lot to be desired. By the end of the night it just got too cold
But still pretty happy for a first attempt. Keen to revisit again soon now that I have the necessary accessories for my Baader Zoom. Going to try eyepiece projection if I can get the balance issue sorted out.

I'm struggling to remember the capture details for each planet. Suffice to say they were all captured 13 May via the following:
Meade 8" LX200, Canon 600D (un-modified)
Prime Focus with x5 Liveview zoom
1600 frames (80% best from 2000)
Stacked and wavelet feature in Registax

Thanks for looking. Cheers, Evan
