04/12/05 Venus, Mars 05/12/05 Saturn

Well I setup to image the 3 day old moon for a series I'm doing
and the seeing was pretty crappy. Venus turned out to be a better
target albeit sitting a stones throw away. Later I finally had a chance
to tackle Mars then Saturn.

Seeing 7.5/10 Trans 6/10, there was a jetstream present overhead
which didn't helps things. And the odd lil bit of whispy cloud. Still, since
I haven't had a chance to get near anything for the last couple months
it was worth a go.

8" f/6 Newt, LPI

All images taken through a 3x barlow with the elements of a x2
barlow screwed onto the nose of the LPI, except the smaller Venus
shot which was taken using just the x3 barlow.

All had levels adjusted and a bit of sharpening in PS as well as
some RGB nudging.

And ending with day break with o'l Jup's again

regards,CS
