I thought I would drop by and let everyone know I’m still kicking out here in Albuquerque.
I shot this with my Celestron C8 SCT using the Celestron 236c color CMOS camera.
I shot 5000 frames at 60 FPS and stacked 20% in Autostakkert2. I adjusted wavelets in Registax6 with a final touch up in Photoshop CC.
Hope everyone is doing well.

Great to hear from you, I was wondering if we would get any planets from you.

Thank you Europa.
Between clouds and smoke from fires, I have been having a bear of a time getting decent photos.
Jupiter has been up early and I have been able to get a few videos to process but not as cleanly as I would like.
I have been trying to get really nice seeing to try and image the GRS losing material into the jet stream.
A friend of mine has been getting some really images but he is not in the US and has had much better seeing.

...this really is great...the fact that you can see the shadow of the planet on its rings....

I must say , you pulled a hoo dini on Saturn after all that smoke, I can imagine the frustration , Saturn has nice color and the cassini div. in the rings is awesome. Did you know that Saturns rings are younger than previously thought? Cassini data says so.
