Thanks Colin. I have a C14 that I bought 10 years ago that gets used just for this sort of imaging. I had a bit of a hiatus from planetary imaging for a couple of years whilst the planets were too low for me to bother imaging, but last nights seeing really has enthused me to continue to get data on the planets again.

Thanks Leon. I am sure you meant to say Paul. I was on the phone to Anthony Wesley this morning and we were reminiscing about how long we had been doing planetary imaging. It's hard to believe I have been imaging the planets in digital format for since 2004. Things have changed a lot. I started out with a Toucam. Then planetary imagers were fewer in number and looked upon with some amusement. Now planetary imagers are vast in number and their data is being used for lots of scientific research including helping identify certain storms during a close imaging run of the Juno mission. It's been a real pleasure to watch the changes occur.
