[Averton (P and C)]

Before turning in last night we imaged both Saturn and Jupiter. The seeing on Meteoblue's indexes were 1 and 1 and the jet stream was 49m/s, so not great. We have been experimenting with shortening the back focus to the sensor on our camera with a ZWO ADC. As supplied it increases the magnification of a barlow to too high a magnification for our equipment. With our shortened arrangement we have now got approx 1.8x magnification.

Jupiter was way low in the sky at only 27 degrees but we didn't feel like waiting up any more. The GRS was just coming into view. It is presented as would be viewed on date and time.
Saturn was much higher in the sky at 60 degrees. Both were enjoyable to view.
