Hey Guy's,
It's not often I venture in to this Solar System forum, but what do you know, I actually put the webcam on my LX to do some planetary imaging! Only because the moon was washing out my galaxy of choice
These are a couple of quick snaps really, I was only recording videos over about a 30min period including focus etc. I'm quite happy with the results considering all.
I think they're the first planet images I've shot since something like 2005 Mars Opposition ..
The first...

The second...

The second has a few more frames but the viewing was a bit worse I think. I feel like the second could be processed to bring out more detail and/or contrast but I couldn't get it better in my tries just now, perhaps some pro can play with it a bit.
Then the clouds came in
... but I should be asleep anyway...
Roger.
