Fake conjunction

Took these last night and decided to place them all in the one shot over a crop of one of my deep sky backgrounds from a few weeks back. It's not meant to look authentic but rather some artistic license to make it more interesting especially considering they weren't my best efforts on these heavenly bodies.

The moon was a single shot of about 1/125 sec 400iso, Jupiter ( under bad seeing ) was a 150 second video grab, Saturn was a 6 min video grab ( in better seeing ) and Mars was a 6.5 minute video under better seeing.

All were shot with a 12.5mm eyepiece stuck to a 2.5x Powermate through the 8 inch f5 Newt and the Canon 550d. Each planet is the correct scale to each other and you can see the Mars disc is now larger than Saturn's disc. Despite the good seeing for Mars, there's very little detail showing now, it's not looking good for the next few weeks before opposition - very disappointing.

Hi Michael,

Cool artistic grab !

I've read on other posts that there's a big dust storm on mars now. Hopefully it clears up soon !
