Hi all , i was out with my Maksutov 180mm arperture scope trying out a ZWO asi224mc planetary camera i got a while back , still need more practise but i'm happy with my testing equipment night .

The planetary camera is 2.1Mp and was running at 800X600 at 180fps, an AVI of around 2.5 mins is ideal capture for the bright planets , i use a program to stack the best 20% of 27000 frames and do a simple balance of colour and brightness.
It was windy when doing Jupiter and it bounced out of frame quite alot so there is a wee artifact at bottom of Jupiter image Smile

Jupiter and Mars.......

nice work dave !

it's always a bit mind boggling to me that it is even possible to capture such images of something so far away.
