Mars and Jupiter --small scope views

Hi

Some balance against the big guys

Here is a few shots I took with my ETX-105 on 22 July between 10 and 11 pm in Canberra. Using a crude mix of 2.25 barlow and 0.5 focal reducer to get the focal length up but still within the rough tracking of the go-to.

Mars seems to be getting a bit clearer

For me this is a nice shot of Jupiter, although probably overstretched. Almost directly under the red spot there seems to be a feature like a small oval storm following it. I found at different time intervals on Sunday night so it does not seem to be an artifact but I have not seen a small white oval follow the GRS like this before. I have added another Jupiter image to make the sequence of the almost co migrating white oval more convincing

Cheers
