[von Tom (Tom)]

I set the alarm for 4am this morning in the vague hope that maybe, just maybe, it will be clear at that time of the morning for the first time in how long? One look out the window had me setting up the 12" Auto Goto Dobsonian and camera.
First up was Saturn, which I had never seen before with this telescope. The storm has had me quite excited over the last weeks and this was the first chance I had of seeing it.

I took images of Saturn, Venus and Mercury. Mercury was in extremely poor seeing very low.

Attached is a composite of the planets this morning and of Jupiter last night. I didn't think of catching Uranus : (

Thanks for looking!

Cheers,

Tom
