Hi everyone

Had some more luck with the weather this morning & managed a shot of both Jupiter & Mars.

Same setup. C14 @ 7500mm, ZWO ASI120MM, Astronomik filters + CS Photometric IR pass. About 1500 frames each of R G B & IR. Color image is RGB only.

Mars was a lucky shot as the sky was starting to 'boil' with sunrise & its only about 5.5" in diameter at the moment.

Cheers
Maurice

Well done Maurice, yes it's going to be a very busy year for all us keen planetary imagers down under.
Cheers, Phil.

Cheers Phil.
Happy New Year.
Yeah, hopefully it will be busy for all the right reasons.

I've attached a Mars IR image from the same session.
