Crystal clear days (and nights) here in Holland which is rather rare here. But the nights are short here due to the high latitude (52 N) and the proximity of summer solstice.
All are taken with a Canon Powershot S100 with 1280x720x30fps while filming a 10-20 seconds zoomed in 3-4x optically behind the eyepiece of the specified telescope and stacked with Castrator and
AutoStakkert and Castrator a freeware Windows stacking app which runs perfectly under VMware on my Mac.
Saturn: Friday night (i.e. Sat morning AU time) : 25cm Dobson with Nagler 13T6 + Powermate 2.5 (230x) .
Venus: Saturday morning 11:30 full daylight (19:30 AEST) : 10cm Genesis with Vixen LV6 + Powermate 2.5 (210x).
Jupiter: Saturday morning 11:30 full daylight (19:30 AEST) : 10cm Genesis with Nagler 13T6 (38x). Yes I saw it even only 9.5º from the Sun a very faint ball. More magnification made the poor contrast even worse, so I used this. Still it is a very poor image without details but the kick is just to capture Jupiter so close to the Sun ! It is a little bit contrast emhanced with Photoshop.
