1 Night, 9 Planets
With all of the main planets, and Pluto, up in the course of a night, I decided to have some fun with the 8" Dob and a couple of cameras last week without getting too serious about it all. All planets were captured between sunset and sunrise, and (with the exception of Pluto) observed visually at roughly the same time they were imaged. All showed some defining feature even with the seeing varying from decent to rubbish. It was quite entertaining though not as spectacular as the great planet parade of 2022.
All planets shown at the same image scale and relative apparent size, except Pluto, which is obviously just a dot in most telescopes. Orientation as they appeared relative to horizon.
I'll follow up with some notes on each object capture further down.
