Sun, Mercury & Venus

Hi

Well, I had a poke at Sunspot 923 (1/1800) but it just didn’t work today. The seeing looked as if it should be okay, but everything was a little soft with high frequency jitters, as the image shows.

I next tried Venus (8/1800) and Mercury (9/1800), both of which were dancing around like whirling dervishes with their pants on fire. Mercury is the planet showing a phase.

C9.25, Vixen x2 DX Barlow, Philips ToUcam 840K, lashings of Earl Grey tea.

Cheers

Dennis
