SATURN 25th Feb AND JUPITER 26th Feb

Hi All up late for Saturn and up late early for Jupiter... and hot on the heels of yesterdays jupiter morning I'm knackered. Can't be bothered with 2 separate threads so here they are both for your viewing enjoyment .

Thin cloud the whole time to make for frustrating imaging and to play havoc with registax quality sorting. Seeing wasn't bad, maybe as high as 7 out of 10, but the cloud dropped trasparency so much I had to use heaps of gain - always a bit harder to find focus under these conditions. Collimation was spot on though

The first Saturn was with the 4x powermate the other Saturn and Jupiters with the 2.5x

cheers,
