Mars/Saturn March 22nd

SPX350 F39.1, PGRFlea3, Baader RGB filters. Fair seeing.

Breezy all night which is so annoying but managed to get a few images after eventually abandoning attempts even though seeing looked not too bad. The Moon looked splendid when it was still.

RGB2-1359hrs UT
RGB5-1505hrs
Gif-1347-1505hrs

Saturn 1700hrs UT.

Thanks, John.

Nice images John. Seeing is at a premium at present. Nice cloud formations on the Mars images.

Some quite remarkable resolution and details of the various surface features on Mars John, and very nicely processed for such a natural, smooth look.

Lovely Saturn too.

Cheers

Dennis

Those are really incredible images John, great level of detail and beautiful colours. And I love the Mars animation.
I wonder how fast the Martian clouds move around, maybe it's possible to make an animation of that?
