Jupiter and Saturn near opposition, 15 July 2020
Hi all, for those of you not following the Cloudy Nights website, here are some images I took a couple of nights ago in very good seeing with both planets near opposition.
Unfortunately I had to reduce the size of the Jupiter animation to fit under the tiny 200 kB file size limit. Saturn shown at 150% captured size (with the moons shown larger and brighter than actual), Jupiter shown at captured size. The moons of Saturn shown are (L-R) Rhea, Enceladus, Mimas, Tethys, Dione and Titan.
