Hi guys

Reluctantly I have conceded that I will not get any worthwhile images of Mars this opposition, now passed. With Mars receding and down to less than 13" it almost seems a lost cause. Every time I tried to image , the seeing was always terrible and the same with Jupiter. Managed a few decent images several months ago but nothing recently and as you say, Jupiter is now getting much lower after sunset and therefore harder to get good seeing .
What I found curious though is that earlier this month, after trying to capture the planets and only getting shape shifting, squirming blobs I moved over to Luna and captured some reasonable vids that processed into good images.
