Mars and Saturn with moons from last night

[prokyon (Werner Probst)]

Hi folks!

Both done with 10" f/6.3 newtonian and 2.5x barlow lens.

To capture the moons I did a second sequence with 0.5s frames.

Hi Werner,
Very nice work you have done there.
I was looking at that same view of Saturn in my scope the other night and thought that it would make a great image, thanks for doing it and showing us.

Really nice images there Werner, some lovely crisp detail with Mars and what a great Saturn, a top all round effort indeed.

Hi Werner,
I enjoyed looking at these!

[prokyon (Werner Probst)]

Thank you folks!

I did an attempt with drizzling in Registax5:

The bright spot in the middle is Elysium Mons. Its diameter is about 240 km, with a summit caldera about 14 km across. Elysium Mons was discovered in 1972 in images returned by the Mariner 9 orbiter.

And here you can see, how the seeing was. Done with IR-pass filter.
