I finally had a chance for about an hour last night to take a couple of AVI movies files of Jupiter and Mars before the clouds came rolling in AGAIN!!!
Very frustrating at the moment with all this wet and windy weather :-(
Mars is showing some lovely detail on the surface as it heads towards opposition on the 8th December, but with all the moisture in the air it’s jumping around like a little jumping bean, which makes it very hard to capture this detail.
Images were taken with a Meade LX200 10 inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and ZWO 120 MC camera with 3x Barlow lens attached. AVI movies were captured with 3000 frames each, stacked in RegiStax6 and processed in PS.
