Hi All,

Had first light with my new optics July 25th. It was Saturn through the cloud for about 30 sec's. With my record, first light really just had to be Saturn, even though I was unable to capture data on that night.

Imaged Jupiter July 26th, have good coverage in and around the GRS. There seems to be a quite pale stream of material skirting the Nth Preceding edge of the GRS, it shows up in RGB & 807nm IR.


There is some nice detail in the SEB both in the f & p directions. There seems almost a thin band within the SEB from the GRS all the way to the limb on the f side. A couple of prominent red barges in the NEB and a nicely resolved small white oval in the STB.



I apologize for the colour balance, I have a new computer that I am processing on and trying to calibrate it is proving rather problematic.

Imaged Saturn last night, my first data since June 24th, The Jet has been parked overhead for a month, this is very unusual for my location.



This is my first Saturn data with the new custom optics I have installed in what really is a completely new telescope. We were still Jet effected but there is reasonable detail within the storm considering how far we are now past opposition.



Saturn will remain at reasonable altitude for me for at least the next few weeks and I will continue to image it when conditions permit.

Thanks for looking.
Regards
Trevor
