It does look green. Funny how nice it looks until it's side by side with other more accurate photos. Thanks, Stephen.

I'm noticing a lot of different orientations of the planet in the photos here. Is there a widely accepted rule or consensus on how to orient the planets when photographing? Obviously the image itself will be different depending on the design of the scope being used.

I've usually tried to orient my camera with the horizon when the scope is in the home position. When I shot this image I was close to a flip, which I guess explains the whacky orientation.
