Jupiter and Mars from Tue 29th Dec 15

[MarkJ]

Hi all,

Attached are my first Jupiter and Mars images for this apparition.

Jupiter taken at 4:59am and Mars at 5:58am (no torch needed!) Melbourne time.

Both taken with 12" F5 Newtonian, x5 Powermate, DMK21AU618, Edmund filters. Overall focal length of about 11.5m.

AutoStakkert! 2, Photoshop and Topaz DeNoise 5.

Best regards,
Mark

Wow! That's a great shot of Mars Mark....well done!
Jupiter isn't too shabby either!

cheers

Thanks Maurice,

For Mars I was perhaps a little lucky with some better seeing as the Sun rose. A second image set 10 minutes later was rubbish.

Best regards,
Mark

Very nice Mark, good to get a Mars for 2015. 2016 promises to give us some great images.

Cheers, Phil

Thank you Phil,

All the best to you for 2016.

Best regards,
