Nice images Tom. Looking at the altitudes of the different planets you are certainly picking all the hard targets at the moment!

how come they look all blury?

Mark,

They look blurry for a couple of reasons. 1. because they were so low on the horizon and seeing/transparency was very bad and 2, because I didn't back off on my magnification. This morning I got some shots at 2x instead of the 4x here and they seem much better. I think I got carried away with getting as large an image as possible when I was actually better off trying to get more detail.
