Jupiter and Saturn on a Moon lit night
13/8/19 Moon Jupiter and Saturn[/B] [B]Celestron C6 on EVO with ASI 1224mc camera and 1.5x barlow
13 August had decent conditions in Canberra as Sydney also appears to have enjoyed. Good conditiions have been a bit rare here in August.
Of course a nearly full moon does not prevent decent solar system imaging, it just provides an extra target. The moon is a target I need a fair bit more practice on and the area around Schiller crater is an attractive site on a near full moon. Jupiter is receding but you can still make out some nice detail with small scopes. Conditions may have been fading a bit by the time I got to Saturn but it is still a stirring sight.
