Jupiter with the GRS in transit - 23 May 2021

Jupiter and Saturn are not yet high at convenient times but are close enough for worthwhile images with modest scopes if your imaging is lucky and late.

Seeing did not appear to be very good and the captures were soft and pale but I still feel the resulting images were okay from my C8 on my EVO for this distance from opposition. I have certainly captured much worse this month. Jupiter is from a 3 minute capture that has been drizzled at 1.5x and then reduced in size by 10%. Saturn was a single 6 minute capture at 3am and is at capture size. Camera was a ZWO 262mc and the barlow was 1.6x.
