Mars,IR,RGB+4hr 47min animation+Saturn morning Jan 24th

Greeting All,

Imaged from 10:43 pm CSST through to 4:08 am CSST. I had checked the jetstream and it didn't look great for Broken Hill but it looked like it may be fairly crook conditions over the next few days so I decided to make the effort tonight.

For the first 2 hrs intermittent light cloud wafted through but then it cleared up. The seeing was fair about 5 / 10.

Captured 11 IR avi's and 1 RGB of Mars through to 3:30 am CSST then had a very tired crack at Saturn.

My Mars IR data is reasonable and the RGB came up ok as well, still waiting for some really good seeing to do justice to a RGB of Mars.

Have posted 5 of the 11 IR images along with my RGB plus my longest Mars animation to date, 11 IR images over 4 hrs 47 mins of Mars rotation.

Have also posted a Saturn RGB, the colour is a little off and I am not sure what I have done, wasn't really all that alert by the time I got to Saturn.

I apologize in advance if I have stuffed up any of the labeling on these images, if I have put it down to sleep deprivation.

Thanks for looking.
Regards
Trevor

PS, have slowed down this animation a little compared with my last effort.
