Hi all,

Here are links to my recent Mars and Jupiter shots. Seeing was average, but the Mars shot is my best so far this year.

Mars

Jupiter

The dark spot is the satelite Genymede (not it's shadow, but the actual satelite).

Hi Paul,

Very nice, especially the recent Mars. You caught the bright limb haze, and also clouds over Mare Acidallium. All lookin pretty dust free over there...lets hope it stays largely that way smile

Best Wishes

Damian

Hello Paul,

glad to see that the 9.25 is back grin

And it seems you're having a lot of fun too!
Great Jupiter and Mars: good detail and processing on both, in my opinion.

Thanks and ciao Paul.

Hi Paul -

Nice work! I was able to catch the Ganymede transit a little earlier in the evening - though the seeing declined just as the moon passed in front of the planet.

cheers-
Alan
