Saturn, Jupiter and Mars, 9-10 Sep 2024

The jetstream eased and I was able to catch the Big Three under good+ seeing, with Saturn still close to opposition and high in the sky, while Jupiter and Mars scraped my neighbour's rooftop the following morning.

First up is a composite image of Saturn at 150% captured size with (L-R) Enceladus, Mimas, Tethys, Titan, Dione and Rhea with the moons shown brighter than captured.

Next is Jupiter at captured size, 28 deg elevation.

Finally, Mars at 200% captured size, 25 deg elevation.

All images captured using a Celestron Evolution C9.25" SCT, ZWO ADC, TeleVue 2.5x Powermate, ASI224MC.
